Description: | Grammy Award-winning Third Coast Percussion, whose artistry blends "creative fearlessness with reverent precision" (BBC Music Magazine), offers an album of enterprising collaborations and world-premiere recordings of works written or arranged expressly for the Chicago-based percussion quartet, representing four different approaches to composing concert music. Danny Elfman's Percussion Quartet, structured like a four-movement symphony, shares distinctive traits heard in his Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated films scores, as well as hints of African balofon, Indonesian gamelan, and Shostakovich. Great admirers of composer Philip Glass, Third Coast arranged Glass's solo piano Metamorphosis No. 1 for marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel, and melodica. Rubix emerged from Third Coast Percussion's improvisational collaboration with virtuosic, cutting-edge flute duo Flutronix, who also perform on the recording. Critically acclaimed electronic musician and composer Jlin (Jerrilynn Patton) composed her seven-movement Perspective as electronic tracks, without music notation. Third Coast transformed this work of "beautiful complexity" into a version they could perform live as a quartet."Perspectives" is an innovative CD release by Third Coast Percussion and Flutronix, brought to you by Cedille Records. This album showcases a vibrant collaboration between the Grammy Award-winning percussion ensemble Third Coast Percussion and the dynamic duo Flutronix, known for their genre-defying flute performances. "Perspectives" explores new sonic landscapes through original compositions and inventive arrangements that blend classical, electronic, jazz, and world music influences. The result is a captivating listening experience that pushes the boundaries of contemporary chamber music. Cedille Records has established itself as a leading independent label dedicated to promoting exceptional artists in classical music since 1989. Their commitment to high-quality recordings has earned them numerous accolades in the industry. |
