As a champion of new music, Joseph Petric began exploring electroacoustic media in the early 1980s. This CD 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.

Petric’s vast stylistic interests are also captured on this CD with the recording of more conventional chamber combinations for accordion and viola, accordion and cello, and prepared piano, accordion and trombone.

Many of the works on this CD have been used as an integral part of conservatory studies and performances in Scandanavian and German institutions.
