This colourful disc showcases Richard Ayres’s melodic, eclectic and theatrical style, which owes as much to the exuberance of Janacek as Kagel’s experiments: Ayres explains “I want to use consonance, dissonance, melody, texture, elephants, clouds, snowballs, anything, from any time and whenever it is needed.”

'There’s an exuberance, a craziness but also a real sense of an emotional rather than purely intellectual engagement that makes it such a terrific listen.' James Jolly, Gramophone
'Some of the wackiest music this side of Charles Ives on acid.' NZ Herald
'There's no doubting that his music demands a response ... It's very strange, very quaint and in its way charmingly engaging.' The Guardian
'Would that all musical postmodernism were as intriguing and provocative as this!' Gramophone
