Deaf Center: “Hunted Twice”
Deaf Center’s Owl Splinters (Type, 2011) explores wildly different settings: the strident slow dense instrumental and vocal churning of Divided could be the soundtrack for a free fall into a black hole; Time Spent is a tiny neoclassical piano lullaby; New Beginning Tidal Darkness is an impressionistic painting for cascading water and droning strings;Animal Sacrifice turns a cello solo into a psychological nightmare; Hunted Twice is icy chamber music for arctic landscapes. The eleven-minute The Day I Would Never Have tops everything else with its crescendo of piano, cello, glitches and scream-like drones that dies out in aquatic piano notes. via Scaruffi
