Our Reece Dano

Here are two trial recordings of one of our distinguished ANALOG members.

Reece Dano's 24th Caprice (student recital)

Reece Dano's C#DG#BEC# G#F# D#ECD# (fourth movt. of version for string quartet)

"The title of the piece is the initial melody, which is a code stating "Pierre Boulez is dead!" The piece consists of four very short movements with the first three movements featuring a cacophony of agitated and contrapuntal lines based on commercial jingles and The Greatest Hits of the Baroque. It attempts to mimic the 20th-Century art music scene's disgust with he reality of American pop culture - in general, the thinking man's fear of our base instincts. The fourth movement concludes with a reworking of Machaut's Rondeau, "rose,liz, printemps, verdure" - celebrating a return to a non-neurotic embrace of life" - Dano on C#DG#BEC# G#F# D#ECD#
