There is high drama in the composer's startling remixes of his own heavily processed original works. From the intensifying circular repetitions of "Mt. Moriah ReMix" and the sustained choral refrain of "Triple ReMix" to the looped shards and textures of "Dead White Males ReMix," the heavily processed arco dirge of the "Scipio ReMi," and the brief "Tlon ReMix." Applebaum is a composer at the forefront of combining original classical compositional techniques with cutting edge technology and the sensibility to creatively merge the two into utterly distinct terrain. Pioneering stuff.
