Around the World in a Daze (DVD)

Phil Kline's Around the World in a Daze, a 65-minute studio composition commissioned by Starkland, is likely the largest work ever commissioned for a high-resolution surround sound recording. quot;A special-project disk in which Kline created, out of extravagant electronic means... an audio-visual feast that balances hipster zen with the seriousness of Bach and Wagnerquot; (The New Yorker). quot;This adventurous music... ranges widely from ambient recordings that are surprisingly musical, to complex constructions that emerge as lyrical... The accompanying DVD offers... a fascinating interview with Klinequot; (Stereophile). quot;A set of sensational étudesquot; (New York Magazine). quot;Mr. Kline, the electronic experimenter who deploys fleets of boomboxes to achieve his preferred textures, is hard at workquot; (New York Times). quot;Our always adventuresome friends at Starkland have outdone themselves this timequot; (Sequenza21). quot;Congratulations to Starkland for releasing this extraordinary and well-documented releasequot; (Vital Weekly).
