 Ellen Fullman :: Staggered Stasis :: NOM29 CD
Even though she has performed widely in the United States and Europe, this is only Ellen's third solo CD, following previous releases on XI Records and New Albion.
Thanks to the harmonic configurations of the instrument as much as Fullman's chosen pitches, it's a fantastically rich piece - compared to the monastic austerity of Lucier's epochal "Music On A Long Thin Wire", "Staggered Stasis" is as dramatic and colourful as a Mahler symphony.
In contrast, "Duration", the second piece, gives the C overtone series one of the best workouts it's ever had, and in case anyone's in a hurry, recaps the whole 23-minute process in just two and a half in the closing "Speed Duration".

Virtuoso Ellen Fullman takes the unwieldy giant as if it were orchestral at heart, playing it in just intonation with Elise Gould and Nigel Jacobs and making its near-microtonal range sing.
Given the just intonation--and Fullman's collaborations with Pauline Oliveros--it comes as no surprise that throughout Change of Direction, echoes of Oliveros and Stuart Dempster's Deep Listening Band are clear.
The stretching of tones and almost absolute absence of any discernible beginning-middle-end sort of construct make Fullman's music so clearly progress-oriented that it's fascinating no matter how you listen (on headphones, through speakers, loudly, softly, etc.).
