"Larynx is an analogy; the orchestra as a throat. It follows as corollary to the throat as orchestra: throat singing as practiced by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic and the hoomii singing of Mongolia, as well as by related jawharp techniques found throughout the world. The natural overtone series is the melodic core of much of these musics and of much of Larynx. Ratios derived from the Fibonacci Series are used to generate tunings and melodic/harmonic material for the strings, brass, slabs, pantars and doubleneck guitarbass, as well as rhythmic material for the ensemble." Performers: Samm Bennett (drums & percussion); Lesli Dalaba (trumpet & slab); David Fulton (trombone, slab, pantar); Ken Heer (trombone, slab, pantar); David Linton (drums); Charles K. Noyes (drums); Bobby Previte (drums); Jim Staley (trombone); Soldier String Quartet: Saura Seaton (violin), David Soldier (violin), Ron Lawrence (viola), Mary Wooten (cello); Elliott Sharp (doubleneck guitarbass, soprano sax, tenor sax, bass clarinet and sampler). Recorded and mixed at BC Studio, Brooklyn, New York, June-October 1987.
