We have moved in many directions while never losing sight of our initial focus. This CD is the realization of our ongoing effort to seek out pre-existing works, and to generate new works through commissioning. We present here an exciting variety of sounds and rhythms. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Our thanks to the composers, and to you, the listeners.
New music is alive and well.
A line which does not itself belong to east or west, but which carries in itself the possibility of all directions. Endless capacity for expansion in any direction. Limitless possibilities for exploration. This is our fourth disc, and it contains some of our most recent experiments with new sounds for brass and percussion. These composer's love of stylistic diversity has been an inspiration to us, as has been their sense of musical daring and experimentation.
