• Paul Lansky’s burgeoning career shift from composer of computer-generated music to composer of music written for, as he humorously puts it, “carbon-based life forms”, is documented on the present recording. Three symphonic works from the last five years feature, including a Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra written for the Grammy nominated guitarist David Starobin.

• Lansky's music freely mixes popular and classical elements in works full of energy and fantasy.
