“This is bold, insistent music that grabs you and takes you where it wants to go,” writes Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon in his liner notes for the album. That sentiment lands with a fury in the recording's central piece Ozymandias, a not-for- the-faint-of-heart excursion that channels the tension and dread of, for example, Bernard Herrmann's famed Psycho score, but expands on it with the subtle, stately majesty of Bartók and Cage.
“We recorded six compositions for Dystonia,” Thirlwell explains. “Three were already composed, and the other three I wrote in 2020-2021 before entering the studio: Apeirophobia, a long-form composition for conventional score, and two instructional pieces that were later combined into one during mixing. With these, the intention was to experiment with extended technique, as well as different tonal qualities and dynamics that didn’t exist in the other pieces.”
