The music was inspired by a year spent living in a quiet, isolated former port village called Red Hook. The stark contrast of these two environments yields a four piece program that is spacious but dark, dense yet fluid, cautious while extreme. A solo clarinet trails a lone violin creating long swaths of gossamer dissonance while a Rhodes quietly spins out its ostinato. An electric guitar enters the mix as the group embarks on a repetitive but contrapuntally rich dance. When the computer enters, it brings with it a monolithic drone a composite of acoustic voices collected earlier, blended to reveal rich overtones that take on lives of their own. Gradually the acoustic instruments reenter, singing long lamenting lines vaguely reminiscent of 16th century choral polyphony, while the drone recedes to a role as foundation, and guides the players through the completion of their walk. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Magical Mystical and all you ever wanted to know...Don't miss this incredible Brooklyn-based group when they play in NYC; excellent fusion of modern and classical showing that new young composers really know their stuff! What a difference a real love for the music and an "understanding of the music" makes for people who perform. Long way from the sixties with it's blasting rock 'n roll. God save us all. Love it. Don't miss it! **** From MySpace: About Redhooker Thanks to Steve Smith for a great review ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
