Modney: Ascending Primes

Basically, what we have here is a pair of discs consisting of 6 “Ascending Primes” for fear of associating them with songs. Modney plays the solo violin with a distortion pedal, and I use the term “Play” lightly, as it’s more akin to “Scratching”, while “Lynx has agitation between Modney, Marile Roberts’ cello and Sam Pluta’s electronics. It feels like I’m tied to a whipping post on “Everything Around It  Moves’ With strings and piano asserting the 39 lashes with a mix of electronics, voice, horns, strings and drums getting mixed into a Waring blender on “Fragmentation and The Single Form”. If there is a transcription for this and the other pieces, it must look like someone put ink under cat paws.
