The composer writes: \"For me, moon viewing is a year-round activity... This cycle was composed in the winter. There is a unique light and intensity in a winter moon... There is also a special silence... an inscrutable stillness.\" \"Garland's music seems to be about the sheer expressive power of sound itself.\" (Fanfare magazine) \"[Garland is] an artist who knows what he's doing, and then does it-repeatedly, each time out. He's a marvelous artist; I admire his work a lot.\" (Harold Budd) \"Percussionist William Winant has been the avant-elite's go-to percussionist for more than 35 years.\" (SPIN magazine) Peter Garland's music is informed by his well-traveled ear and intense personal vision. Since the 1970s, his pieces have been marked by a \"radical consonance\" and simplification of structure and performed around the world by such noted performers as Aki Takahashi, Herbert Henck, and Kronos Quartet. Also a musicologist and writer, he championed the work of such composers as Revueltas, Partch, and Nancarrow long before their music became fashionable. Grammy-nominated percussionist William Winant has performed with some of the most innovative and creative musicians of our time, including John Cage, Anthony Braxton, and Kronos Quartet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
