QUILT - 

QUILT is Norman Weinberg's solo CD recording. The disc is a blend of acoustic and electronic pieces. Four of Weinberg's electronic percussion works: Quilt, Slide City, Beijing, and Slow Burn share the stage with John Phathas' Matre's Dance with pianist, Tomoko Uchino; Brett William Dietz' multiple-percussion composition, Rechargeable Light; David Hollinden's Surface Tension with percussionist, Todd Hammes; and Richard McCandless' work for multiple-percussion and track, Voyager. 

The CD was recorded at the University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music's Recording Studio with Wiley Ross and Weinberg producing. Making this recording was a fantastic experience. Please give it a listen, and I hope you listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Here's what the composers have to say about the performances of their pieces:
JOHN PSATHAS
This is a superb recording of a great performance. I love the marriage of hyper-charged energy with cool precision. The ensemble with Tomoko is exceptional and the unfailing clarity of the smallest subdivisions (even in the most intense passages) gives this recording a sense of momentum and indefatigable energy - which is absolutely true to the original spirit of the piece. It’s a great endorsement of Matre’s Dance, and I’m thrilled with what you’ve achieved. ​
DAVID HOLLINDEN
Norm and Todd have created a fine recording. Their instruments sound good and their phrasing is articulate, allowing the small details in the music to come through. And they control the dynamics such that they can maintain energy and drive throughout the entire piece. They have captured the spirit of the music in a fine performance.​
BRETT WILLIAM DIETZ
You really sound great on my piece. It sounds exactly the way I
envisioned it my head. Thank you for this gift! I love your electronic works. Also - your interp of Matre's Dance is awesome!!!
RICHARD McCANDLESS
It's rare that a composer has a recording of one of his works that conveys his vision of that work, and this is what Norman Weinberg has done with Voyager. His interpretation and performance are precisely what I intended. I consider his recording to be the definitive performance.
