What the critics are saying:

One of the main features is Arioso Distante. It is a beautiful 12 minute string piece. It has a classical feel, but often sounds as if there were three different string quartets following similar but not identical scores. The result is a lush, powerful music. Pack uses contrasts to great effect, leaving the listener breathless. The 20 minute Ellipses is the other highlight. Performed by Standing Wave it progresses through a handful of tableaux, first featuring a lot of percussion work to finally concentrate on piano, clarinet, and violin. Another worthy work is The Earth for You a Standing Place
Francois Couture, All Music Guide

Standing Wave

One of the most dynamic voices in the Canadian new music scene, Standing Wave is a chamber ensemble dedicated to commissioning and performing works by composers from Canada and abroad. The group's five members perform a diverse and progressive repertoire with uncommon vitality, combining a wealth of musical experience from their various individual activities within the worlds of Classical music, free improvisation, and jazz. As an ensemble, Standing Wave is equally comfortable playing complex chamber compositions, venturing into the world of musique actuelle and performing with electroacoustics.
