Alexandra Streliski: Influences

Alexandra Streliski's music sounds deceptively simple, but a deeper look into her revolving structures and whimsical melodies uncovers a whole coterie of techniques from other composers. Her oscillating chords hark back to the piano works of Erik Satie (Gymnopedie I), while her incisive approach to harmony reflects a deep love of the music of Philip Glass (“The Poet Acts”).
