Rick Cox (1952-)
Fade (2004)

Rick Cox, Thomas Newman, Peter Freeman

Beautiful, casually evolving music for guitar, piano, bass and electronics. In three connected sections, Fade offers a series of harmonic “moments” of various densities and complexities and timbres and lengths. Throughout the work, these moments, like elements in a mobile, are in a constant state of changing perspective. This work extends Cox’s continuum of lush, elusively shaped music. It featuring the composer’s idiosyncratic guitar playing and performances by Thomas Newman and Peter Freeman. (25-minute CD EP, in digipak)
