Array Live brings together five internationally recognized composers in a CD recorded live at the Gelnn Gould Hall in Toronto.
In Paradisum, has a darker opening and is rough like a pre-Columbian dance, gliding soon into the serious game of transformations that eventually sidesteps the auditioning mind and imprints itself on the body.
Toronto’s Evergreen Club has the distinction of being Canada’s first group playing music on an Indonesian gamelan (orchestra).
Memory Forms is a succession of orchestral images – chords, fragments of melody, odd scales, occasional solo lines – which appear, recede and reappear in continuously changing forms. Just as memory gives shape to life, so it forms, and informs, the experience of music.
Road to Ubud, from The Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan, features world premiere recordings by renowned composers John Cage, Gilles Tremblay and James Tenney.
Celestial Machine was the first recording entirely devoted to the music of Vancouver, Canada, composer Owen Underhill. This CD collects works of varied instrumentation completed between 1984 and 1999.
The Evergreen Club's first recording of popular Indonesian music is both a plateau and a paradox.
Toronto Duets is a diverse collection of comprovisations (composition/improvisation) featuring computer musician Eugene Martynec and some of Toronto's foremost improvising composers /musicians.
Live Fingers is the second release of the 40 fingers saxophone quartet, a group of Toronto composers and performers who came together in 1993.
For There and Then combines world music with contemporary classical music. Expressing a wide range of virtuosity in blending plucked strings from around the world with Indonesian gamelan instruments.
Arraymusic’s mission is to ignite and sustain a passion for contemporary Canadian musical art within an international, interdisciplinary context.
Phh!k gathers the essence of all electronic music, from mid-20th century first attempts (like the theremin) to the German school, electro-acoustics, and experimental turn-of-the-century techniques.
This double CD contains pieces chosen by the prestigious past directors of the Array Ensemble.
Lynn Harting-Ware (guitar) plays so well that the colorful, poetical new pieces blend imperceptibly with standards such as Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra and Adelita. -The Tribune (Oakland)
This is an interesting collection of some real forward-thinking music....a highly adventurous and strangely beautiful recording. - The North Jersey Herald and News
Forest Scenes is a suite of three pieces with the general theme of nature.
The recording in its entirety is a masterpiece of guitar performance with impeccable sound quality. - Jazz & Tzaz (Athens, Greece)
I was delighted with Harting-Ware's adept rendition of Ferdinando Sor's Variation on a Theme by Mozart - Alternate Music Press
Rethink Forever
Vocal Music of Peter Hannan
Canadian composer Peter Hannan joins forces with three venerated Vancouver vocal entities, slathers them with weird electronic effects, and, in the process, pops open a strikingly odd treasure chest of pure sonic pleasure.
Louise Bessette, piano and Martine Desroches, violin. Works by Jacques Hétu, André Prévost and Rodney Sharman.
Prevost/Menuhin
