A dynamic, engaging symphony of contemporary classical by American composer Michael Torke. Much of Color Music is characterized by staccato notes that seem to hover around central, semi-dissonant chords, with oddly uplifting anti-melodies weaving their ways throughout.

Thankyou! And happy new year.
ReplyDeleteNot even 60 seconds into track 1 and I'm hearing a wonderful John Adam like similarity, and that, my friend, is a very, very, good thing. Your excursions to the far flung universe of all things musical, is just how I like to travel too.

Prost.
