Espaces lointains
John Young
This composition [
Once He Was a Gunner ] consisting of twenty-six short movements “is a journey through one man’s experience of the war in Italy — living with civilians, moments of lucky escape, the fear, the camaraderie, the panacea of alcohol, and the sense of loss on returning home.” We hear it all in this wonderful composition. — Nieuwe Noten, Netherlands
Evocative soundscapes, full of inventiveness and charm. — Blow Up, Italy
