This is an album released in 1984 featuring the music of Henry Brant, a Canadian-born American composer active since the mid-1950s, and Amy Snyder, known as a conductor of choral music. The performance is by the Gijsbrecht Van Aemstel Quartet, consisting of Leonore Pameyer, Ernestine Stoop, Jan Erik van Regteren Altena, and Eduard van Regteren Altena. The quartet utilizes various instruments including flute, harp, violin, viola, mandolin, cello, and alto saxophone. Brant's score "A1," known for its spatialization techniques, unfolds a mysterious world lasting 21 minutes and 30 seconds through an experimental approach where staccato sounds resembling percussion instruments scatter throughout the sonic space. Snyder's composition "B1," on the other hand, is characterized by beautiful melodies that emerge and disappear within dissonance.
