Product Description

The first recording of The Robin Cox Ensemble from 2000. Ten original works for what was previously unchartered territory -a quartet of two mallet percussionists and two string players. Equally unique is the three included tracks featuring hand drumming in combination with the strings and mallets ...a one-of-a-kind recording

Album Description

The second release from this unique new music group committed to the performance and recording of percussion and string works by contemporary composers. These tracks are a reflection of the ensemble's truly unique sound as well as the provocative individuality of the classical, avant-garde, and jazz influenced works the group regularly performs live in concert. The CD includes first recordings by Cox (Escher, Volt), Joseph Koykkar (For Mallets and Strings), Leslie Hogan (Thirty-Five), HyeKyung Lee (Quickly Casual), and a recording of Evan Ziporyn's What She Saw There in its original instrumentation of cello and two marimbas. With violin, cello, vibraphone, marimba, and various other percussion, this is a truly one of a kind CD.
