	SCHAFER and VOLANS STRING QUARTETS at Blackheath and on CD (PGW) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Kevin Volans is a complete individualist, who might perhaps be described loosely as an intelligent minimalist, who eliminates inessentials from his carefully crafted scores; John Woolrich is an English composer who, to my mind, shares some of his aesthetic in that respect.
		Kevin Volans has described his string quartets as the spine of his output and I recommend trying to find the 1995 release of nos.
		Volans has been seeking simplification and the 'elimination of subject matter', a musical equivalent to that explored in visual arts a few decades back.

	BBC - Classical Review - Kevin Volans: hunting: gathering, The Duke Quartet
		Kevin Volans is the South African composer whose music gained a much wider audience when the Kronos Quartet asked him to re-write his early 80's opus White Man Sleeps for string quartet.
		Volans had his doubts: this after all was his attempt to cross-fertilise the musical traditions of western Europe with African tradition, without falling into the trap of producing a classical piece plus 'local colour'.
		Well, despite his misgivings, Volans pursued the idea, using as many open strings as possible to get close to the strange timbre he was after.

		In the other corner there is the Abstract Volans, greatly influenced by Morton Feldman, blurring the lines of stillness and motion.
		My personal favorite Volans quartet is his Fourth (the second movement I see as some of the best music Feldman never wrote), complementing nos.
		And besides the Duke Quartet do Volans great service (they have recorded all but no.3; I hope they are working on that along with no.7) which always makes for great listening.

	Apollo Nove - Res Inexplicata Volans : album review
		With home studio boys like Prefuse 73 and L Pierre making some of the best digitalised records of 2005, you may be forgiven for not looking further afield for other master manipulators of music software.
		Res Inexplicata Volans showcases the soundscaping skills of the antique-synth nut, and over twelve lush pieces, the in-demand producer might even have a slow-burning crossover hit on his hands.
		Ras Inexplicata Volans recruits the help of chanteuse Cibelle, Seu Jorge (City Of God's Knockout Ned), Air engineer Yann Artaud and is chops-solid with Latin veteran players adding multiple shades of technicolour vibrancy.

		Kevin Volans, the South African composer, lends the disc its title and its opening track, which melts hesitantly familiar folk melodies into a racing quartet.
		Aside from the lousy Bartok, the only piece of note (for me) was the Kevin Volans piece, which earns this album the lofty 3 stars I have given it.
		Kronos' anemic sound is combined here with occasionally vague rhythm, utter lack of dynamic contrast and single-color playing, and the result is something of a joke, especially in comparison with some of the great recordings by groups such as the Emerson, Tokyo, and Takacs quartets.

		I don't think it is much difference but need some opinions before I buy, the 205 size is okay but I wouldn't mind a bit more "meat" on the wheel.
		Although I've never heard or felt rubbing, there is evidence of ever so light rubbing on my inside wheel well liners in the front, probably on full turn lock.
		I don't think you could really tell the difference but my point is that a bigger tire would "fill-up" all that space the rear wheel appears to have.
