Combining interests in electronic music and Asian performing traditions California-based composer Ingram Marshall has developed one of the most distinctive and singular voices in contemporary music. Since the late '70s, Marshall has applied his interests to developing a body of work that blends elements of speech and music, and electronics and natural acoustics. Influences from the outside world found their way into each of the works included here. The focal work, Kingdom Come - Marshall's impassioned reflection on the Bosnian conflict - makes use of vocal sounds and bells recorded in a Croatian Catholic church and a Bosnian Orthodox church in Dubrovnik. Hymnodic Delays features Marshall's graceful electronic manipulation of traditional hymn tunes for vocal quartet. And Fog Tropes II, commissioned and premiered by the Kronos Quartet, is an updated version of Fog Tropes, one of the composer's most successful and best-known works.
