Life In C

The Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble's In C Remixed CD - the follow-up to the group's wildly successful 2007 recording of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, which logged eleven weeks on the Billboard charts - hasn't actually come out yet, but it's off to a fine start.

The disc features an incisive and energetic performance of Terry Riley's Minimalist landmark, In C, along with creative reinterpretations by an assortment of luminaries and rising stars, including David Lang, DJ Spooky, Phil Kline, Jack Dangers, Kleerup, Zoë Keating, Nico Muhly, and several others. 

Early in the season, it was previewed in New York magazine, The New York Times, and The New Yorker, a Gotham trifecta for sure. And last week it was the subject of an extensive article by Seth Colter Walls in Newsweek. Here's a terrific trailer that Bill Ryan, the GVSUNME's director, made to promote the disc.
