The Beat, CD Review >>
Migration (Lila Sound) isn't recommended for the impatient or itchy. These duets fre Keyavash Nourai's violin and composer Shahrokgh Yadegari's "Lila" computer software unfold slowly over four extended compositions that merge together into a single sprawling work. Unlike most computer-based electronic music, the digital manupulations here have nothing to do with pounding beats and teeth-rattling repetition. Yadegari captures and alters Nourai's Persian-themed string improvisations and plays them back to him for further improvisation in waht the linter notes describe as "a continual and circular process." Once the composition develop, it can be difficult determining whether you're hearing the violinist in real time or the Lila maestro. The results are lovely, if a bit low key, unless you're able to focus your complete attention on the music. Then it becomes a full-scale transportation device. 12/01/06
