Description:Mit «Togetherness Music» legt der britische Pianist und Komponist Alexander Hawkins ein faszinierendesmusikalisches Panorama vor, das das breite Spektrum eines auÃ?ergewöhnlichenmusikalischen Geistes widerspiegelt. Das sechsteilige Orchesterwerk zur Feier von Hawkinsâ?? 40. Geburtstag ist die Erweiterung eines Stückes, das im Auftrag des Dirigenten und Komponisten Aaron Holloway-Nahum für das Riot Ensemble entstanden war. Hawkins und Saxofon-Ikone Evan Parker, die seit über zehn Jahren musikalisch verbunden sind, treten als Solisten auf. Diese neue Fassung des Werkes ergänzt die ursprünglichen Elemente durch zusätzliche Solisten und die elektronische Magie von Matthew Wright. Während das Riot Ensemble in erster Linie für seine Aufführungen notierter zeitgenössischer klassischer Musik bekannt ist und Parker eine der Schlüsselfiguren der freien Improvisation und des Post-Coltraneâ??schen Jazz-Kontinuums ist, verschieben sich die Rollen in diesemWerk flieÃ?end und schaffen eine ganz eigene Klangwelt. - RIOT ENSEMBLE
With Togetherness Music, British pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins presents a fascinating musical panorama, a distillation and synthesis of different traditions and influences, reflecting the broad spectrum of an extraordinary musical spirit. Released to celebrate Hawkins' 40th birthday, this six-movement quasi-orchestral work is an extensive expansion and revision of a piece which originated with a commission from conductor and composer Aaron Holloway-Nahum for the Riot Ensemble, to feature Hawkins and saxophone icon Evan Parker - with whom Hawkins has enjoyed a now more than decade-long musical association - as soloists. The new incarnation of the work features the original forces, augmented by additional acoustic improvisers and the electronic wizardry of Matthew Wright. Whilst the Riot Ensemble are primarily renowned for their performances of notated contemporary classical music, and Parker is one of the seminal figures in free improvisation and the post-Coltrane jazz continuum, roles shift fluidly throughout this work, creating an entirely distinctive soundworld. "Collaborations among improvisers and classical musicians can be fraught - a clash of cultures," writes musician James Fei in the comprehensive liner notes. "When it works, however, something unique and in-between becomes possible." Indeed: Togetherness Music shows new musical possibilities. A highly contemporary musical work, which points to the future.
