9:11 Blues
Oxingale Records, 2015
Composer: Toby Twining
Cello: Matt Haimovitz
"In "9:11 Blues," Toby Twining has written a very human and expressive work, one that uses microtones -- those notes in between the cracks of a keyboard -- to make the cello sound like a frayed-voice singer wailing in pain and protest." - Chris Pasles, The Los Angeles Times
