Classical Recordings Finding Places for Electronica the Sacred …
New York Times
NEIL RLNICK has been a prolific and inventive composer of electronic music for the last quarter-century but lately he has been revisiting the joys of acoustic instruments. He has not abandoned technology entirely: in the title work scored for Western string quartet and four Chinese string instruments comparatively light electronic processing of the eight string lines adds a ninth strand used sparingly. “The Economic Engine” (2008) is an idiosyncratic four-movement dialogue between antiquity and modernity and its charm is in the blend clash and interplay of Asian and Western timbres gestures and textures. The Chinese instruments usually sing in their native accents (without using traditional themes) but stretch toward Western styles too and at times the two sound worlds are juxtaposed: a keening erhu line is supported by a vibrato-rich violin. A different kind of dialogue animates “Hammer and Hair” (2007) a 20-minute fantasy for violin and piano.
Soul Train
New York Times
SMETIMES at 68th Street there’s a dignified middle-aged man red sweater brush cut. He has a deep full classical voice and beautiful posture. He sings “Ave Maria” to an electronic orchestra. We listen respectfully. Some of us put money in his violin case. When the train pulls in it drowns him out but he keeps singing. We can see that this is a matter of principle respect for the music.

\n\n\n It\’s any given night at the Inferno nightclub on the city\’s north side a haven for people who move to the beat of a darker grittier drummer. The club is ground zero in Madison\’s industrial- and electronic-music scene for musicians and fans alike ? even as other clubs like the High Noon Saloon and the Frequency are embracing the technological crowd. \n\n\n Madison is in fact one of the flashpoints of industrial and electronic music in the United States boasting a cooperative spirit and an internationally recognized reputation for innovative bands. Compared to the city\’s rock and folk scenes it\’s not a big crowd but the niche the acts have managed to carve out is a deep one. And while older bands like Stromkern and the Gothsicles have moved on to different cities they maintain strong connections with Madison. \n\n\n The Inferno has regular industrial and electronic music nights featuring both DJs and live acts. The Reverence Fest is a multi-day event that draws a diverse assemblage of acts and attendees from across the country and even abroad.
