Track 10: Original Acoustic Demo

“Trey Anastasio's Time Turns Elastic is truly a masterpiece for this day and age where designations amongst genres are slowly disintegrating. Technically speaking, one could call this entire record a concerto for guitar-wielding singer/songwriter and orchestra. Obviously Trey is at the center of this large-scale work, but with a little help from composer Don Hart. This entire concerto aspires to essentially create a world around in a transportive and colorful way, and greatly succeeds in doing so. Nature is heavily evoked in the names of the movements I do think they work well with the imagery provided programmatically. The orchestra parts tend to be densely textured and Trey's solo guitar musings fit nicely amongst the psychedelic tapestry that the orchestra provides. His voice also finds its way through the backdrop quite effectively, however this is mostly due to the fact that one would not be accusstomed to hearing a voice like Trey's in a classical setting. This original acoustic sketch serves as a fine example of witnessing Trey in the act of crafting this universe, and also is a fine track in and of it self. Highly recommended”
