Edward Top Clairvoyant Donemus recording

Schoenbergian chromatic progressions summoned from a baroque ensemble in just intonation. The future as seen from the past. A French-overture with dotted rhythms, played in a disjointed metre. Postminimalist microcanons and electric-guitar delay effects in A415. The limitations of interpretations are endless.
