Hard Cells

Freund describes the musical structure of Hard Cells as comprised of "metallic, hard-edged, unyielding building blocks of sound.  Rather than allowed to grow, develop and blend into an organic flow, they are contexted by repetition, superimposition and juxtaposition." This hard-shell cellular approach to the character and structuring of material could be seen as what distinguishes Stravinsky from Bartok, Scarlatti from Bach, and rock from jazz.
