Info zu Enclosure

From House of Bedlam's release Enclosure, get up close with Stephanie Tress's cello in Occhi io cissi di voi #2 - Larry Goves' arrange of Claudia Sessa's tune. Alternative takes of a saxophone are superimposed on themselves accompanied by low alto flute and cello playing on the tension of playing together and play apart.

Royal Philharmonic Society-nominated composer, Larry Goves is at the cutting edge of the UK’s contemporary music scene. His 'band', The House of Bedlam, is a rare example of a classical composer-led group, which fuses Goves' boldly original voice with the kind of dynamic energy and spirit found in a rock band.

His use of extended performance techniques and uncompromising electronic sounds combine to create a rich variety of textures and evocative harmonies. Goves’ dark scores, his sinuous melodic lines and his obvious appreciation for Welton’s measured poetic style results in a deeply thoughtful collaboration, a unique sound-world and an album of heart-felt beauty and honesty.

“A tour de force... [the score] built up an orchestral embarrasses de richness in many layers, with sounds from several key players looped and transformed by electronics...The piece was engrossing for every moment of its 35 minutes…” Ivan Hewett (The Telegraph) about the London Sinfonietta Collective performance of Larry Goves’s Things that are blue, things that are white, things that are black at the QEH 2010

“Goves’ ‘Springtime’...a beautiful setting of an eponymous poem by Matthew Welton ... one of the undoubted successes in this release and a truly beautiful work that deserves to be heard again and again…” MusicWeb International, Hubert Culot, 2009
