In addition to debut recordings of two original studio pieces - Sunrise from the Bottom of the Sea and One Thought Among Many - the collection also contains a brand new recording of Steve Reich’s seminal masterpiece, Electric Counterpoint. Click here for the official press release, and here for a nice, 4-minute audio medley featuring some tasty morsels.
