right now! What Paul has done here is truly a stunning stroke. As a
composer myself...I find myself bordering on sharp jealousy. This is
music concrete
to bathe in. These sounds of nature have been plucked up and designed
with a true artist at the helm.”

It takes courage and audacity, perhaps, to write a piece about 'finding equilibrium,' in Rudy's works, 'between the wildness of a mechanized culture and a calm that comes from discovering peace inside one's own spiritual place.' But Vastly Shrinking Space finds a potent middle ground by juxtaposing recorded sounds ranging from birds to trucks with vigorously scored, often lyrical cello passages...It is a work of real substance. One felt a real sense of struggle between the pleading cries of the cell and the monstrous machine-like churning. At one point a mechanized roar threatened to take over the cello entirely, until a bird-like sputtering signaled new hope and a coda of tender harmonics." PAUL

“There
were times when the whole space was impregnated with a soaring, upsweep
of sounds. And other times when I felt like I was six years old, in
bed, listening to the bugs outside my window. I realize I don't hear
that anymore. I found it very moving--sad and entrancing-- too.”
