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. |
