The widely recognized 2014 grindcore album “Longhena” by Gridlink was widely regarded by many heavy music listeners and critics to be one of the excellent metal releases of the year. I was invited to contribute string tracks because of my interaction with singer Jon Chang after performing my acoustic grindcore suite “The Inalienable Dreamless,” my first solo recording and only physical 12″ vinyl (and still reliable set material).
Only a bit of my score went on Longhena on the first and last track, but I worked the rest of my orchestration into a piano reduction of the Gridlink rhythm section and developed an orchestral grindcore suite I have entitled “Constant Autumn.”
The release “International Coven of Dangerous Violinistry will have the fully-edited version of this track.
