Notable Quotes

Triptych is a milestone in the annals of electronic music. The piece, in its entirety, is so convincing in its sincerity and conviction that few could view it outside of a state of absolute ecstasy and shock. This is the electro-acoustic music composition against which the state of the art will be judged for a long while. So long as FM is a legitimate reality in the electro-acoustic music world, and this work clearly puts Schrader at the pinnacle of this technology, Triptych will stand as a monument to John Chowning's ideas, and, in addition, will join the ranks of the most beautiful and historically important works of our time.
Straightline, Journal SEAMUS

 

One final perspective that occurs to me is that these works, though they have and will likely continue to age very well, sound full of the DNA of a single, virtuosic individual Californian in the mid-seventies. Obviously that is very cool. This music is sublime, and it would not be surprising if Barry Schrader hears on this CD today pretty nearly what he intended to put down.

On the Beyond CD...

This music conjures up a whirlwind of emotion from some primeval source that permeates the listener with awe.

Bebe Barron, pioneering composer of electronic music and the score for Forbidden Planet


When listening to these recordings side-by-side, Mr. Schrader's strong sense of compositional style and detailed sensitivity to time, space, and timbre are evident.  His music flows over the listener, ebbing and flowing through a gamut of emotional states.  Schrader's music withstands the test of time and stands uniquely in the American electronic music genre.
