'It is a privilege to play new music - to wander in the wilderness of new sounds and play among them until their shapes, logic, and emotions reveal themselves. Encountering each piece is like meeting a form of intelligence that has very particular feelings and a new sense of order. The process of discovery is all-consuming and joyful. The main goal of this recording project has been to set record to these extraoedinary pieces. I have chosen complete, unedited, live performances in order to preserve each piece's integrity and through-energy. Playing each piece on this CD has been a journey, expanding both my flute technique and my whole person.' Carrie Rose.
