Grady, Kraig
Beyond The Windows Perhaps Among...
This CD marks the premiere full length album by just-intonation composer and instrument builder KRAIG GRADY outside of
his documentation of the music of Anaphoria Island. It is also the first recording of his music which does not rely on
his great skills as a performer or the instruments of his own design or modification. Instead, in this 55 minute
composition Grady has chosen 6 of his favorite instrumentalists and vocalists from a wide variety of backgrounds, each
because of some unique quality that he finds in their musicality. Grady calls upon these players to perform pitches with
extreme accuracy, but also to use the wide range of timbres possible on their instruments or voices. This extremely
meditative yet somewhat intense composition explores a tuning called Meta-Meantone - this tuning has the characteristics
of exploiting a variety of acoustical phenomenon ranging from equal beating chords to the reinforcement of difference
tone phenomenon. This is an entirely acoustic recording with no processing effects of any kind. Originally designed for
his own personal use, Grady considers this one of his finest compositions, performed exceptionally well, persuading him
to release this for the enjoyment of others.
