The Music of Erich Zann is a startling and surreal musical interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft’s 1922 tale of the eponymous violist, a mysterious old man who seemingly protects himself from dark, magical forces by playing the viol. American composer Michael J. Evans is a gifted melodist who is known for his use of the rich textures and harmonic language of late European Romanticism. On this work, however, he departs from these tendencies to an extent in order to convey a clear, taut and compelling narrative that captures the mysticism and drama of Lovecraft’s story. Evans adds electronic delay to the Sirius Quartet's performance, the most extreme in his palette of evocative and exotic sounds which also includes glissandi, harmonics and, most powerfully, a variety of sophisticated rhythmic textures that suggest the paranormal characteristics of Lovecraft’s boarding house.
