The performance by Phillip Rehfeldt, clarinet and Barney Childs, piano is superb. In Leo Kraft's Second Fantasy for Flute and Piano the cormposer makes excellent use of changing dynamics, articulations, and textures and contrasts between metered and non metered rhythms to delineate the section in this free-form atonal work. The performers Sue Ann Kahn, flute and Andrew Willis, piano were impressive. The final piece on the CD is Fluxions by Victor Saucedo Tecayhuatzin, Professor of Music at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California. Fluxions is a computer-generated tape piece.
Fluxions is a sectional piece.
The seven sections or variations are created by various changes in parameters such as sampling rates, modulation indexes, and carrier to modulation ratios. One puzzling statement from the liner notes was the reference to location modulation with regard to the third section. This reviewer could not discern any such thing. In fact, the sounds in this section seemed to be more centrally located and with a more consistent reverberation rate than in some of the other sections. The overall recording quality of this CD was uneven.
