"Different Light, Same Window" is a collection of work by the Houston composer Steve Layton, all of it realized in Seattle in 2004. In addition to his own compositions, Layton has included a performance of the 2003 Beethoven-meets-Bayou piano epic DeltaBandresonator by Florida composer Jeff Harrington. The music on this CD is unafraid of unsual forms and biting harmony, yet there is always a strong connection with all that's gone before; a sense of that the dead never really die, but are just us (and we them) displaced by a few years. Every part of the performances and recording are all realized directly by Layton himself, using a technique that makes score, performance and recording a single entity. |
