Workshop
Ned McGowan
About this work: “A particularly impressive piece is Workshop by Ned McGowan… McGowan creates a wonderful environment of machine and construction ‘noises,’ placed in timbral and rhythmic interplay with rapid, flashy recorder lines that travel into quieter sections and end exuberantly.” Tom Bickley, American Recorder
