Faust/Faustus: A Duet For Devils, composed by Jeffrey Stolet
The musical score of Faust/Faustus was composed buring a five-week period in May and June 1999 with the violin part being recorded in a single brief session. The temperament of each of the three muscial sections was suggested by the vivid and poetic descriptions of Faust/Faustus creator and director Leon Johnson in private converesations with composer Jeffrey Stolet. The violin part was performed by Fritz Gearhart and later digitally manipulated by Jeffrey Stolet.
"... when Fritz Gearhart's sumptuous
violin floats over airy, sometimes eerie electronic
clouds, or the bell and chime percussion effects kick
in, this quietly haunting recording really strikes deep."
