Kingdom of the Sun
$25.00
Kingdom of the Sun is a percussion ensemble piece that is complex with dissonances and high-flying acrobatics that cascade and spiral in purely musical vivaciousness. Thundering, pulsing rhythms and jagged, brassy punctuations are redolent of ancient worlds that paint picturesque and unspecified storylines against which rich exotic harmonies are freely employed. Potent disjointed melodic fragments, glittering flourishes, and full of bursting powerful energy, it creates a raw, unflinching thrill-ride full of worlds of drama whose impact is ambitious and obsessively serioso in its substantiveness; skillfully crafted music that ricochets between daunting dissonance and yearning tonality and chugging propulsions
