The First Fifty Years
Premiere Recordings
The compositions on this CD span the fifty years of my career (?) as a composer, from the early 1970s to the present. -David B. Doty
Doty is one of our major tuning theorists, and for tuning-sensitive ears, the pure and subtly shifting intonations [show] in a simple, engaging, crystalline context what’s possible with enough well-tuned pitches per octave. —Kyle Gann, Village Voice
A deeply serious composer of considerable talent, with unusual harmonic and melodic gifts…. This is music to be listened to carefully, savouring the quality of a sudden harmonic twist, the feeling of being subtly and gently launched into an unsuspected harmonic territory. — Warren Burt, Chroma
