Notes & Reviews:

Smoke & Mirrors takes us on a journey of the breadth of contemporary classical music written for percussionists. The recording was captured using a single AKG C 24 stereo microphone in the glorious acoustics of Zipper Hall. Each piece was recorded live to tape with no editing, to create a lifelike performance.
