Our
next few months will unveil many exciting projects.
First,
we'll be in Hollywood recording for Groove Note Records
an expanded version of "Square Feet". This will be for
a high-end audiofile LP release of works featuring percussion. We'll
be sure and post the news of a release date when we get it.
Second, February brings the premiere of a project with the amazing
San Francisco vocalist/electronic sound artist Amy
X Neuburg. Amy will perform with us on arrangements
of her works, and we'll premiere a piece she's written just for
RCE. After February performances in Santa Barbara, we'll bring this
show to Santa Monica in April.
Third, April has us performing works by composer Bill
Ryan , including
a new commission for RCE. Ryan had been getting a lot of attention
lately for his direction of a critically acclaimed CD release and
a live performance on the Bang on a Can Marathon with the students
of Michigan's Grand Valley State University of Steve Reich's Music
for 18 Musicians -he's also a heck of a composer too!
Fourth,
we'll complete the spring with "One Minute Wonders" performing
in a row on May 5th thirty one-minute works created for RCE by the
composition students of Cal State University -Long Beach .
