LIN: Friction (2008)
Berkeley's new music ensemble-in-residence, "a dream team" composed of "some of the most talented and experienced players in the new-music world," (New York Times) presents two concerts that span the most exciting terrain of the contemporary musical landscape. Inventive compositions by modern masters and fresh new voices explore the boundaries between electronic and acoustic sounds, with inspiration drawn from phenomena as diverse as bird song, free jazz, the human voice, and the paintings of M.C. Escher. The ensemble plays a modern masterwork by Ligeti, and showcases music by esteemed UC Berkeley faculty composers Edmund Campion and Franck Bedrossian.
