The music on this disc combines the violin with signal processing, interactive computer, pre-recorded sound, and GuitarBot- a robotic guitar simulator. Charles Amirkhanian writes that "Kimura's virtuosity is channeled in the service of extending the long and honored tradition of solo violin music. Kimura leaves no doubt: The force is with her."
Reviews:
“I love this disc. This CD features pieces for violin and electronics that runs the gamut of possibilities. Mari Kimura is a superb violinist, a compelling composer, and a Max/MSP junkie.” - Sequenza21
“Her playing proves that she is a formidable virtuoso with total technical and tonal command of her instrument, in every register, at any speed, and under all circumstances.” - STRINGS
