The most extended work on the disc is Psyzgysm for solo percussion and chamber ensemble. The outer sections of the work are often breathtakingly exciting, fusing virtuoso jazz with a Middle-Eastern melodic style. The phenomenal Pedro Carneiro describes the piece as 'rushing down hill on a bike with no brakes'. Expertly engineered, edited, and mixed, this is another winner for the Rattle label. Anyone who’s enjoyed previous John Psathas albums is going to love this.
