| | Paul D Miller Viral Sonata CD Paul D Miller Discography of CDs
Paul D. Miller, a.k.a DJ Spooky, calls this a 'hip-hop' record, though there's little hip and no hop. His tongue is firmly planted cheekwise, but there's no denying Miller's high concept album. VIRAL SONATA is the stuff of hi-jacked groove anarchy, the deification of the sampler and the turntable, where no sound is sacred and everything is permitted.
Here, the specter of William Burroughs (one million edited/collaged parts of him) haunts this montage of concrete samples and corrupted audio files. There are gnarled bits of droning Indian sitar on "Indra's Net," and odes to electronic film score pioneers Louis and Bebe Barron in the lab-rat electronic piston pulses of "Morphic Interlude." In the electroacoustic "City on the Edge of Forever," the disembodied, trilling sound patterns would surely make sci-fi scenarist Harlan Ellison proud. Subtitled "An Inventory of Effects," VIRAL SONATA, for all its random experimentalism, brings up-to-date the pioneering work of every Bell Labs techie who ever worked with a prehistoric, multi-cabled, synthesized monstrosity.

| | Ottmar Liebert La Semana CD (2004)
Viral Sonata
$12.25
Ottmar Liebert brings to bear a number of traditions on this recording, most notably the time-honored music of Spain. Drawing heavily from flamenco, Liebert creates a body of music that is at once forward-looking yet deeply rooted in the Spanish heritage.
LA SEMANA is made up of many elegant compositions and all of them feature the guitar. "Cocteau" is a brooding modal work that invokes the ethos of Spain the best. A pair of guitars dominates this mix; one guitar plays a passionate and dissonant melody while the other coolly provides a static harmony. Overall, the two guitars create wonderful tension and release as Liebert's composition gently unfolds. Another tune, "Echoes of a Caress" combines Flamenco with an overtly synthetic keyboard trumpet and percussion section. What makes this track so creative is that Liebert does not attempt to fool the listener, but rather, he highlights the disparity between the organic guitar and the digital accompaniment. It is this kind of musical judgment that sets Liebert and his band, Luna ...

| | Peter Kater Migration CD (1992)
Viral Sonata
$13.49
MIGRATION pairs acclaimed Native American flute master R. Carlos Nakai with pianist Peter Kater for a set of very delicate, soothing instrumental music. With titles like "Initiation," "Surrender," "Lighting the Flame," MIGRATION clearly serves as a kind of soundtrack for spiritual rites, yet the music is free-form, organic, and flowing, with none of the formality that an album with titles of this sort might suggest.
The compositions are based largely around Kater's expressive piano, with Nakai lending flute, sung or spoken word accompaniment, and various Native American instrumentation. The arrangements are spacious, with never a busy moment, so the listener has plenty of room to relax and drift away on these lilting improvisations. The marriage of Kater's European-derived classical playing and Nakai's indigenous American flavor is intriguing, and adds spice to this lovely, moving music.
