Still Life

Description: Recording of Arthur Kreiger's Still Life. Still Life was realized at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center where it was completed in the Summer of 1978. Considerable care has gone into the construction of the instrument designs and into more general concerns for phrase, color, and texture. The work also explores extremes in dynamic levels. The title, Still Life, was suggested from an extended quiet passage whose character is predominantly one of stasis.
