American cult composers bring musical knock-out
In Nine Bells, Aya Suzuki moves among an array of nine metal bells like a Japanese Butoh dancer. American composer Tom Johnson not only set down the notes of this piece, but also the path the performer has to follow through the instrument. The result is a repetitive, hypnotic ritual for eye and ear. Equally contemplative is the music of Pauline Oliveros. In her Earth Ears, 15 percussionists tease out ethereal textures and transient harmonies.
