  **Strong reviews for recent Mode titles
  **

*Frank DENYER: Silenced Voices
mode 198*
 
*"The rattling of a string of shells"
*/The English composer Frank Denyer is the creator of a poetic world 
full of shadows and spirits, of noises behind walls and rustlings in 
trees. As a composer he is not widely known, and that is strange. 
Firstly because his music is very authentic and seems to be distinct 
from any streams. Secondly because he conjours up a world that grabs you 
immediately by the collar. Denyer writes hushed music that asks for a 
special kind of musician - his sounds are often so vulnerable that they 
only come to life under the right hands. That happens here time and time 
again. ... All very miraculous and enchanting.
--- Anthony Fiumara, TROUW, 22 November 2008 (The Netherlands)

/*Lou HARRISON: Por Gitaro
mode 195*
 
**/.../for anyone interested in the intersection of Middle Eastern, 
medieval, baroque and relatively contemporary experimental music style, 
particularly with reference to the sort of poetry of longing that runs 
through all of them, this release comes highly recommended. It offers a 
unique and valuable opportunity to experience a disc full of direct 
illustrations of some of the richness that inheres in Just Intonation 
tuning systems, as realised through the highly sympathetic form of the 
guitar.

  **Frances White's music used in the film "Milk"
  **

Whites "Walk Through 'Resonant Landscape' No.2" (from the CD "Centre 
Bridge") has been used in Gus van Sant's new film "Milk", starring Sean 
Penn. Van Sant must be a fan, having also used White's music in his 
films "Elephant" and "Paranoid Park". Check out her unique 
electroacoustic world on:
