Unusual Characteristics
Total Playing Time [48:29] MP3 SAMPLES Reviews AMG Rating **** Unusual Characteristics is, well, an unusual CD. Earnest Woodall created this long-form (48 minute) composition from an eclectic array of instruments and devices. The sound design incorporates many different influences. There are elements of jazz, rock & roll, classical, ambient, minimalism, experimental, avant-garde, and dissonance. Woodall builds off-beat atmospheres with harsh textures and hard edges. Deep listeners will hear and feel the angst of hopeless searches. Again, this is an unusual CD, so any comparison is a reach, but it will appeal to fans of John Cage, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Charles Ives. — Review by Jim Brenholts The All Music Guide This is innovative work that straddles the worlds of improvisation and classical structure. "Unusual Characteristics" is a collection of pieces scored for a variety of configurations that enhance his virtuoso performance. The compositions are lush, radiant, soundscapes put together with a fine technical ability and, a visionary sensibility. Reviewed by EAR - Woodall has taken the potential of electronic orchestration and his own clever guitar styles and combined them into a musical vision akin to the best realms of fantasy writings. Sometimes the music has a grandiose symphonic quality alive with the quality and beauty of Stravinsky. Reviewed by Option Magazine. |
