TorQ's second release features new music by Jason Stanford (Canada), Nebojsa Zivkovic (Germany), Christos Hatzis (Canada) and John Cage.

Joseph Petric began exploring electroacoustic media in the early 1980s. Gems is a compendium of some of his most performed commissions in the 1980s. The electroacoustic works included in this disc by composers Hatch and Hatzis represent a breakthrough in the marriage of computer technology and the practical exigencies of concert production.

"A thousand raves to Joseph Petric and the composers. This is accessible and culturally important experience to be heard time and time again." - Tiina Kiik, Wholenote

Constantinople weaves together threads from East-West, sacred-secular, past-present, real-mythical, high art-popular culture and much more. The strength of its underlying message is reinforced by the way Christos Hatzis challenges our expectation that its music belongs in one genre or another.
