About
Named by Musical America as the 2018 'Composer of the Year', Grammy-winning composer Mason Bates is widely renowned for his pioneering practice of creating music for conventional performing forces enhanced by electronic sounds. Of the two works presented in this remarkable album, Mass Transmission—in its world premiere recording—is a particularly winning example of Bates’ use of 'electronica', blended here with music for mixed choir and organ. Sirens, lacking electronica, still achieves mesmerizing vocal effects through its complex scoring for 12-part a cappella choir.

Awards and reviews
October 2019
Mason Bates is particularly celebrated for his slick and imaginative integration of electronica into orchestral works (as well as being an acclaimed dance music DJ). This collection of choral compositions follows a slightly different tack,; however, placing the focus squarely on the warmth and flexibility of the human voice.

If readers are less than convinced that DJ-ing is an art, they should hear this terrific re-mix.
