Constellations

With its haunting blend of strings, piano, and electronics, Jane Antonia Cornish’s Constellations draws us into a world of sound that is both atmospheric and strangely moving, but also striking for the precision of its colors and textures. The five movements, together, build up a collage of emotions, a language that has set the composer in good stead while working in film and dance. The very human sphere of acoustic instruments fuses with electronics to create a rich musical landscape with a vivid sense of perspective. An album that offers more with each listen.
