about
All proceeds from the sale of "Gilgamesh Suite EP" will benefit Locrian Chamber Players' next concert season.
"'Gilgamesh Suite 'is a newly composed work based on selections from incidental music I contributed to the play 'Gilgamesh Variations,' produced at Brooklyn’s Bushwick Starr Theatre in 2011. Written to commemorate the 2012 John Cage centenary, its touchstone work is 'Sonatas and Interludes.' Instead of creating a trope on Cageian compositional practices, I focused on incorporating the rich sound palette of the work’s prepared piano into the play’s eclectic and highly gestural aesthetic.
The suite, composed for Locrian Chamber Players, is scored for flute, prepared piano, harp, and string quartet. The sixth movement embeds 'Locrian Flourish,' a work commissioned by the ensemble for flutist Diva Goodfriend-Koven, as an extended cadenza." - Christian Carey
