Transit, by John Fitz Rogers (composer) featuring Michael Nicolella (electric guitar), is visionary, epic music that completely defies genre and category. Solo electric guitar and a computer-driven virtual ensemble combine in a single 44-minute work with the architecture of classical music but the drive of rock. Nicolella's guitar work is variously fluid and flamboyant, searing and soaring as he carries us along the music's emotional odyssey. Composer Edgard Varese said in 1922, "Speed and synthesis are characteristics of our epoch." The title Transit suggests many different ways of crossing over - one of the most obvious is the manner in which the music straddles rock and classical genres, recalling Varese's "synthesis" in a broad, cultural sense. A distinctive alchemy of sounds.
