About the Album

Frost and Fire is orchestrated for a big band. Based on short story by Ray Bradbury, our protagonist here is born in a futuristic, cold planet where all human beings have only one week of life. The rhythmic pulses provided by the orchestra mark time running backwards, and the improvised sections mark the resourcefulness and creativity of our protagonist who races against a stopwatch moving towards an inevitable zero point.
