For those of you who have been reading rec.music.newage and are interested in  
neo-classical or post-minimalist music as performed by Phillip Glass, I have an  
electronic keyboard ensemble of which you should be aware. The group is called  
SYNFONIA.

SYNFONIA has recently released their first compact disc on the Four-D Music  
label entitled HYROGLYPHS. The music (all original) is performed live by the  
two artists--Frank Loch and Lenna Reid--and is orchestral in nature, though it  
fully exploits the capabilities of the state-of-the-art Yamaha HX-1 and  
Kurzweil 250 keyboards. You really have to hear it to believe it. It has what  
some say is "high emotional content", yet it has such a wide dynamic range as  
to *require* CD as its exclusive medium. The title piece, Hyroglyphs, embodies  
a musical range from gentle themes to dramatic expositions which the listener  
would swear were created by a full orchestra.

The composer of all the music, Frank Loch, was inspired initially by Chopin  
when he first started composing more than fifteen years ago, but as he pursued  
electronic music, he was directly influenced by such post-minimalist artists as  
Phillip Glass.

SYNFONIA's CD, HYROGLYPHS, is available only from Four-D Music, Inc. (11713  
Bowman Green Drive, Reston, VA  22090 USA) for $16.25 (first class) postage  
paid.

SYNFONIA will be performing live, in-concert, on June 26, 1992 at Northern  
Virginia Community College Cultural Center (Annandale, VA) at 8:00 PM. Tickets  
are $15.00 each and are available from Four-D Music directly.

Four-D Music is looking for college campus distributors for this unique  
product, if you're interested, please request additional info. The purchase of  
the CD will be refunded to you with your first commission check.

Unfortunately, the only way to fully appreciate SYNFONIA is to hear the CD or  
attend the concert. Let me know if you're interested, or order CDs and/or  
tickets directly from Four-D Music at the address above. Their number is (703)  
709-5643.

Please feel free to forward this message to others who may be interested in  
truly "unforgettable music". It is music that "demands your involvement" as  
some have said.

Once you hear the music, I'd be quite interested in your impressions by e-mail.  
You may also respond by fax to (703) 709-5890.
