Process and Passion

Music by Roger Reynolds.

One CD contains the standard stereophonic presentation of the three pieces, while on the second CD, the same three works have been given distinctive six channel spatialization. This sound choreography was then bianaurally encoded by Pei Xiang so as to simulate the experience of the multi-channel versions. This extra version on the second CD must be listened to with stereo headphones and is not suitable for speaker playback or radio broadcast.

The pieces are 'Kokoro', 'Focused on a beam, emptied of thinking, outward...', and 'Process and Passion'. Performers include Mark Menzies (violin) and Hugh Livingston (cello).
