STRIKING (RED RAVEN RECORDS)  includes two of Byrne's recent works. Striking, for amplified string quartet and chopsticks, is entirely built from extended string techniques and is the latest example of Byrne's interest in creating evocative soundscapes using unconventional techniques.  Whispers and Cries is scored for choir and a menagerie of percussion and keyboard instruments including Chinese opera gongs, toy instruments, bells, a celeste, a harmonium, and a regal.
