KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Night Flights

Originally released on vinyl in 1987in Milan, this CD is a welcome record of Christina's earlier work (1983-6) and of her grounding in composition and formal music. Two are electroacaoustic, combining pure electronics with musique concrete techniques and exotic instruments (seashell trumpet, eagle bone and crystal glass bowls) alongside field recordings and an early drum synthesiser. Careful and with a fine sense of sonorities, these are airy, open pieces.
