Active in electronic composition since 1971, Noah Creshevsky (1945-2020) delighted in presenting extreme and unpredictable juxtapositions in which the integration of electronic and acoustic sources and processes creates virtual “superperformers” by using the sounds of traditional instruments pushed past human capacities. Creshevsky used the term Hyperrealism to describe his electroacoustic language constructed from found sounds, handled in ways that are exaggerated or intense. Creshevsky’s first full length CD on Pogus works his sampling wizardry on performances by Sherman Friedland (clarinet); Lisa Barnard Kelley and Tomomi Adachi (voices); piano improvisations by Stuart Isacoff; Gary Heidt (voice and guitar); Rich Gross (lap steel/banjo); Orin Buck (bass) and Juho Laitinen (cello).

Pogus: “As always his music needs to be heard to be believed. A truly singular voice.”

Album from 2011.
