Masaoka, Miya “While I was walking, I heard a sound…” [Solitary B]

This gets my mildest recommendation. Budding buzzing apiarist Masaoka unfurls a wordless a capella choir of drones and clusters and whoops and hollers. In the last movement the vocal techniques expand to include some wonderful whistling. The qualities that keep this from the resale bin are Masaoka???s local improv SF connections, not overstaying its welcome at 30 minutes long, & that playful 4^th movement.
