About
David First's "Revolutions" is a large scale, long duration exploration of the drone. Perhaps First explains it best: "my best intention, and greatest hope, is to simply take you, the listener, to a place where you experience something beyond the daily, infinite cycles. Or better yet, tune you into them - all the way to the far-flung galaxies and back into your infinite bodily atoms and molecules. If you feel you can, trust us for an hour or so. Open yourself up and let us all in. Maybe you'll find yourself on a journey of your own creation-your own story of discovery." And, as Sarah Hennies puts it in the liner notes: "There is technical rigor here, the result of a lifetime honing a highly personal compositional approach, but there is also levity and freedom, and the ability to lose oneself entirely in the work. "Revolutions" with it's enveloping drones and surprising twists and turns of form gives the sense that one is more connected with where we come from but also hints at the wild surprises in the vast unknown. Liner notes by Sarah Hennies and David First.
