Reviews
…we now have a fuller picture of Missy Mazzoli the orchestral composer in the album Dark with Excessive Bright, highlighting four harmonically fresh, dramatically charged works.
…in Orpheus Undone, a work that contemplates the stretching of time, a woodblock keeps a tick-tock beat as strings bend like taffy, rubbing against flurries of warped winds.
