  • Contemporary classical
  • Abstract music

Comment: it is time to arrive at Altered State Reflections which is led by Jared C. Balogh who is experimental musician as well. The Finnish artist Jukka-Pekka Kervinen`s 3-track issue is technically conceptual because all the tracks represented over there are subjected to algorithmic patterns though played in different instrument-based modes. More profoundly, Kurtosis is for celesta and toy piano, Monotone is for clarinet, and Population Of Size N is for flute, oboe, and viola. However, one could perceive a shitloads of turns and rapid chord changes to elevate the concept to the next, robot-alike abstract level. Despite it, paradoxically, the whole involves many progressions which seem to be somehow warm and temperate ones. Maybe it is not abstract kind of music at all? However, it could be tagged as an example of such sort of classical music being related to academic, educated music circles. In a word, it is a thought-provoking glass bead game through the sonic frequencies.
