Patrick Higgins new album TOCSIN is full of thrilling opposites. It is a masterclass of visceral genre-bending sounds that are physical and delicate at the same time. Over the course of three large compositions, the listener is brought on a journey of constant surprise, as when the sound of violins dissolves into a halo of pure noise, more at home in an underground electronics show than anything that appears on a concert stage. The performers include the Wet Ink Ensemble, hailed as the Best Classical Ensemble of 2018; acclaimed pianist Vicky Chow, one of our eras most brilliant pianists,”; and the Mivos Quartet, one of Americas most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles. 1.
