The Village Voice called it a delightful insouciance, but it's more informative to say it is a collection of microtonal electronic and instrumental tunes with some altered music boxes mixed in.
Bio / Background
...an eclectic blend of orchestrations and idioms ..The world needs this kind of work... - Computer Music Journal.
...complex, sophisticated and emotionally rich ... Highly recommended. - Sound Choice
Wold's first CD finds him mining a rich vein of microtonal instrumentalism and electronics. A series of manipulated music boxes separate the far-ranging pieces on this disk, including his take on JG Ballard's Crash.
