This 2-CD set includes the inaugural recordings of Beaudoin's music based on microtiming: A refined methodology for translating micro-temporal properties of a recorded performance into standard notation, which are then used as the basis for newly-composed acoustic works. The CDs include 11 recent pieces, recorded in England, based on microtimings of Argerich playing Chopin, Cortot playing Debussy, and Pollini playing Webern. Disc 1 is devoted to piano music and Disc 2, string quartet music.
