"We must storm the citadels of enlightenment, the means are at hand!" <br><br>Zorn's work has been deeply influenced by the work of Gysin and Burroughs, beginning in the late Õ60s when he first became aware of their art, writing, and revolutionary techniques of third mind collaboration and on to time spent at the Bunker. Dreamachines celebrates this connection with nine compositions combining the quirky atonality of Zorn's classical music, the cut up techniques of Naked City and the soulful lyricism of the Masada songbook. A companion piece to Nova Express (2011), the music is incredibly varied and jumps from tonality to atonality with dramatic surprise. Another complex and intense program of <br>modern chamber music filled with meticulous detail and emotion performed by an all-star quartet of virtuosos from Zorn's inner circle.
