Timothy McCormack, a recipient of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Composers Prize (2018), writes haptic, viscous music which makes audible the tactile, physical relationship between a performer and their instrument. Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes hermetic, his music embeds pitch within dense walls of noise to create strangely affecting sonic ecologies which alter ones perception of time. This recording combines three different works for various ensemble sizes and features Klangforum Wien, Ensemblekollektiv Berlin, and two founding members of the JACK Quartet.
