MUSIC FROM THE SHERMAN BOX SERIES AND OTHER WORKS

"Music from the Sherman Box Series and Other Works collects instrumental pieces from across Gubler's career, focusing mostly on a series of harp recordings made to complement a 2005 exhibition of collages made by visual artist Christine Krol. While Gubler uses similar little harp miniatures as transitory modes or punctuation on his song records, when strung together they reveal an internal sturdiness that belies their light-handed tenor. Using only wire-strung and bray harps and minimal electronics, Gubler ghosts the instruments, dropping tiny motifs and fleet-footed folk melodies between the harp's strings. The compositions are interstitial, setting down between feather-light abstraction and wind-chime melancholy." http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/3295
