Minden Ensemble follow their experimental muse

- ONG JOURNEY Home, a new recording released by
‘-. the Robert Minden Ensemble, opens wistfully. A/one
Together features the ensemble on miniature glass
battles, blown glass jugs, struck milk bottles, string box,
waterphone, struck glass jugs and vacuum-cleaner-hose
vocals.

_ Other pieces follow suit with

commitment to follow a playfully a a
