"Cello Multitracks" is a dance suite for cello nonet; originally conceptualized as a multi-track work to be recorded by just one cellist. The four contrasting movements continue Gabriel's interest in taking influences from both electronic dance music and older, more traditional classical forms. Recorded using a range of performance techniques which often forego conventional classical requirements, combined with the multi-track effect of eight of the parts recorded by Peter Gregson on the same instrument, a unique sound world is created: an impossible ensemble; acoustic yet also "post-electronica."
