On his second album with KAIROS, Fixations, Andrew McIntosh presents music for scordatura strings in just intonation, recorded with longtime collaborators Wild Up, Christopher Rountree, Aperture Duo, and Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick—who, together with the composer himself, appears as soloist. The album, produced by Lewis Pesacov, offers a unique exploration of the nuanced social and spatial dimensions of rhythm and tuning. Featuring 434.6, Fixations, and Duo for viola and cello, with any number of violins, it also includes a printed conversation between McIntosh and Cassandra Miller inside the booklet, opening a window into a world of circular time, care, and musical generosity.
