That Implies Taking Critical Stock Of A Gamut Of Expressive Means Drawn From A Variety Of Practices In A Personal And Idiosyncratic Way And Setting The Near-Impossible?

In Addition To His Other Areas Of Interest His Fascination With The Recording Process Extends Also To Producing CDs For The Academy's Own Recording Label Including Such Diverse Ventures As 'American Icons' Symphonic Brass And Ensemble Arrangements Of Frank Zappa.
