These works demonstrate yet another peak in the creativity of Christopher Fox; disarmingly simple, they demonstrate his uncanny ability to create music from the most unlikely inspirations such as the superb poetry of Ian Duhig; travels through a cityscape, or the calculations of planetary orbits; also these pieces make use of tunings other than the ’normal’ equal temperament we are familiar with thus creating an other-worldly (yet firmly rooted in daily life) soundstage.

"...The playing of the Trio Scordatura is excellent throughout in what must be music peculiarly difficult to keep in tune, and vulnerable to the slightest error. The recording enables one to hear every detail..."
 
Paul Corfield Godfrey - MusicWeb-International.com - 21 May 2012
 


“The message is clear – equal temperament is useful, and here’s some beautiful sounds created from it.” 

 Philip  Clark - The Wire
