Markus Reuter, composer and touch guitarist with Tony Levin's Stick Men group, releases his first symphonic composition, Todmorden 513. This piece - a re-orchestration of an electronic work recorded by the Colorado Chamber Orchestra - creates an infinitely layered, kaleidoscopic drive, pulling the listener ever more into the eye of a 60 minute harmonic storm.
