Matthew Barley launches his new CD, Constant Filter, of John Metcalfe compositions - many of them premiered tonight. Prepare to be amazed at what the electric cello can do, retaining the soulful beauty of the classical cello but with kaleidoscopic extra dimensions of colour and voice created by cutting-edge music technology. Includes works for acoustic cello and piano with rising star Ashley Wass, as well as new transcriptions of some of Schumann's most poignant and perfect songs. While Metcalfe's music is often characterised by grooving rhythms, Schumann's songs are always flexible and breathing - an unlikely and beautiful contrast.

This is music that can speak to everyone about love and freedom, fear and yearning, and the deep mysterious joy of music." Matthew Barley
