Daniel Corral: Polytope

Polytope, says Daniel Corral, “is a multimedia microtonal performance for MIDI quartet.” Go to Corral's site, spinalfrog.com, for an example of what he's talking about. After five minutes of this silvery, undulant tintinnabulation, I was ready to evaporate into another more sparkly and stimulating dimension than the one in which we currently suffer. This piece sounds like gamelan from Pluto—or maybe '70s Philip Glass as interpreted by Harry Partch on his Cloud-Chamber Bowls. Erin Barnes, Andrew Lessman, and Cory Beers join Corral tonight in manifesting this chakra-fluffing music.
