Notes.<\/strong>
\n4 compositions inspired by red-earth roads and busted sound systems\u2026monumental, urgent, meditative, angry, gentle, more electronic than any of his previous work\u2026it is evocative of West African sounds filtered through a fucked up lens of Minor Threat and Anton Webern with a dash of Tony Conrad dronathon for good measure. Recorded entirely on a hand-held field recorder in Accra, Ghana and then munted beyond recognition with his trusty laptop, this collection of pieces for violin, gonje, percussion, found sounds and electronics represents part of Cadell\u2019s Radical Violin project. Music against complacency and apathy\u2026music against capitalism and exploitation\u2026music for truth.
\n\u201cRadical Underground Violinists of the world, stand up, take your instruments and your intellects and help build a culture in opposition to the powers that are degrading our disadvantaged fellow humans and making our planet uninhabitable!\u201d
\nDr. Adam Cadell, The Manifesto of the Radical Violinist
\n\u201cSwaying from haunting meditations to cacophonous maelstroms without end, \u2018Til It All Melts Away takes the violin, bends it into distorted contortions, and throws it to the wind. It\u2019s breathtaking.\u201d<\/em>
