Music for solo piano, solo celesta, multiple clarinets, and electronic instruments. The fragile piano works and the celesta piece display Los Angeles-based composer Fink’s command of forms that are Debussyian in beauty (and occasionally in gesture) yet maintain a distinctly contemporary distance from their musical materials. The multi-clarinet work is a dark, slow-moving study in texture and tone color. The title piece is moody, insistent music that glistens with electric timbres. The Los Angeles Times has described Fink’s music as “lustrous” and “metaphysically tinged” and likened it to the work of composer Morton Feldman. Michael Barone of Minnesota Public Radio called this CD, “Spare, refined, wholesome, satisfying.… If Erik Satie had lived in the early 21st century, he might have written in this fashion…harmonically beguiling.” Incursion Music Review wrote of this album: "Works of stunning beauty and simplicity… they whisper to you in the night, a single solitary voice that echoes from within the silence.”
