A cello ensemble piece with four different parts plus score. A romp, a stomp, with "extended techniques", and a show-stopping climax. Beginner/early-intermediate quartet that works as well for duo or trio. (4 parts plus score.)
Looped and multi-tracked, improvised and composed music from 2000 - 02. A variety of deep, moving, musical spaces. Includes Eight Days Of Eve and highlights from a previous release, “Painting Music”. Mostly cello with some percussion and guitar.
The music of cellist Stephen Katz fuses the kinetic energy of contemporary dance grooves with an unerring instinct for the listener's yearning to be transported beyond the concert hall. One of the new breed of solo performers who uses live looping electronics to generate full ensemble textures from a single instrument, Katz has distinguished himself as a composer of seamlessly integrated pieces that unfold layer-by-layer in concert.
