Pete HardenPrecious Metals – Pete Harden – Compact Disc

CD
Gatefold case, printed on magic silver paper, with sixteen-page booklet including photos, liner notes, interview and score samples.

In Precious Metals, composer Pete Harden conjures a world of rich humming surfaces punctured by howling wild vibrations, a set of works that at times soar with a bright radiance and at others crash with shattering ferocity. Distorted trombones and stuttering guitars lead you through an exploration of texture and resonance. The works, imagined as plates – of different metals, age and corrosion – hang adjacent to each other. Your ears left to trace fluctuations in colour and grain, small impurities within each solid structure.
