about

Red Light New Music's Barbary Coast presents five works written for the ensemble by the group's founding composers: Christopher Cerrone, Ted Hearne, Vincent Raikhel, Liam Robinson, and Scott Wollschleger. The album begins with Vincent Raikhel’s Cirques, a stunning ensemble piece that explores contrasting perceptions of time. Liam Robinson’s Chamber Concerto is a playful three-movement work, which draws on a wide range of musical influences from American minimalism to the works of Charles Ives. Throughout the piece, the piano part, played masterfully by Yegor Shevtsov, leads the listener through unexpected environments and beautiful horizons, presenting equal parts humor and profundity. The Night Mare by Christopher Cerrone is an appropriately haunting work, which takes inspiration from a lecture by Jorge Louis Borges, in which he describes nightmares as chaotic series of images, from which we later construct a narrative. Ted Hearne’s raucous Crispy Gentlemen is constructed of fragmented percussive grooves, ecstatic string shrieks, and a powerful bass clarinet line, brilliantly performed by Christa Van Alstine. The album's final work, Scott Wollschleger’ Brontal No. 3, is an epic piece for viola and ensemble. A nod to Feldman’s masterpiece The Viola in My Life, Brontal No. 3 features violist Erin Wight’s powerfully expressive playing, set within Wollschleger’s otherworldly sonic spaces.
