Baxtrr says: Nick Rothwell's solo debut as CASSIEL is a collage of works
created for modern dance companies in the UK over the years since 1991. In
that time, Nick has shifted the emphasis of his compositional technique
from sequencer-driven songs to a new method of interactive and spontaneous
melody/harmony generation. This record, while melodic and exceptionally
beautifully arranged, features almost no pre-recorded sequencing or
keyboard playing, with almost all of the parts being generated by a complex
combination of hardware and software MIDI controllers, clustered around the
MAX MIDI applications language. The result bears little resemblance to
other electronic music, but is instantly involving and appealing to the
alert listener. A remarkable effort, and perhaps a hint at the future of
emusic....
