Tom Johnson correct music
8/7/12 Populist Records
A mostly solo CD of mostly previously unrecorded music by minimalist composer Tom Johnson with guests Douglas Wadle and Brian Walsh.
“Andrew McIntosh's recording of the Rational Melodies is more virtuosic than the previous three, and he is the first to record Tilework for Violin, Tilework for Viola, Eggs and Baskets and Squares. If this CD of correct music is indeed ‘correct,’ this is not only because it is written with precise algorithms, but also because it is performed so carefully.” (Tom Johnson, August 2012.)
