This review is from: Noah Creshevsky --- Who: Electroacoustic Music (Audio CD)

Some electronic composers seem to be seduced by the infinity of their new medium. Often their toots, plunks, and wheezes can remind me of a distant planet with indigestion. This is not the case with Noah Creshevsky. He is above all a composer. His materials are fragments taken from our traditional world of songs and acoustic instruments, deconstructed and recreated into a wholly contemporary sound. It is of this world but other.He uses brass fanfares, harpsichord, piano riffs, and voices, reduced to their essence and reshaped. His language is ours but outre; sometimes funny, sometimes energetic, sometimes poignant, sometimes strange, but always attractive. I really like this work. His craft seems virtuosic and seamless, with textures that remind me of a backgraound in a Renaissance painting. My favorite tracks are Fanfare, which uses baroque brass, Who, a voice piece in several sections, and Twice, a riff on 1950s piano serial music. He has a wide range. Well worth getting to know.
