Boiling Point
Alias Chamber Ensemble
Now Available for MP3 Download
Composer Kenji Bunch has been attracting much attention lately, both nationally and abroad. Also a concert violist and bluegrass performer, his music offers an eclectic mix of roots music, modern rock and jazz–but mostly within the context of sophisticated classical form. The title piece, Boiling Point, (featuring a teakettle!), begins gently before coming to a hard-rock-style “boil”. The five movements of String Circle flirt with various types of classic roots music (ragtime, blues, country)–yet you know a classical voice is at work. Three other fascinating works round out the program. The Grammy® nominated ALIAS Chamber Ensemble is a forward looking group of 11 musicians (strings, winds, harp, etc.) that cultivates an “out of the box” approach to their programming.
