VEIL WALTZ (EP) Veil Waltz released January 26, 2010 The Creatures is a song-cycle composed by Padma during his 2005 residency at Giardini La Mortella, sponsored by the Fromm Foundation. The Garden is a rich botanical paradise created by Lady Walton (the widow of the late British composer Sir William Walton) on the island of Ischia in Italy's Bay of Naples. The album was then recorded in stages in Brooklyn and Sydney during 2007-08 with another year and a half for mixing and finishing. It embodies some of the fortunate vagaries of creating music with four people in three cities on two continents, not to mention the cadre of additional musicians who brought their own presence of character to the project. For updates on the release, or to order, please visit Brassland. |

CLOGS RECEIVES COMMISSIONING/TOURING AWARD IN DESERTO (SmokeCreek) Chamber Music America awards 2003 NEA/CMA Special Commissioning Award to Clogs Clogs is the recipient of the 2003 NEA/CMA Special Commissioning Award, made possible by a generous gift from an anonymous donor with matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts. Funds for this commission have been provided by Chamber Music America's Commissioning Program, supported by The National Endowment for the Arts, and the Chamber Music America Endowment Fund. With this award, Clogs has commissioned Ingram Marshall, who composed IN DESERTO (SmokeCreek) for the ensemble. Mr. Marshall describes his piece as follows: "As the title suggests, this piece has to do with images of the desert. I was in Nevada a few years ago, and it dawned on me how similar is the ocean to the desert. A year ago when I was teaching a course on Sibelius, the gripping music of his Allotarret (the Oceanides) crept into my consciousness. His piece, which is based on a germinating melody, has been haunting me ever since, and I thought it would be an interesting idea to take a melodic idea about the ocean and turn it into one about the desert." The Special Commissioning Award supports Clogs' US touring of IN DESERTO (SmokeCreek) through December 2005. |
