DETAIL
Evelyn Ficarra's titles like Search, Those Roads and Frantic Mid-Atlantic are all imbued with notions of travel and journey, evoking her Sicilian, Swiss and Californian backgrounds. After a nomadic youth, Ficarra settled in Britain and studied composition with Jonathan Harvey. She is today regarded as one of the UK's most prominent women composers, her works being performed and broadcast regularly around the world. This debut CD is a collection of Ficarra's most exciting recordings to date, revealing her extraordinary musical vocabulary ranging from string septet to solo tape via domestic appliances. 'Frantic Mid-Atlantic' is an often humourous journey through acoustic and electronic sound-collages, intimate whispers and lost airwave voices.
