Le Poisson Rouge

International Contemporary Ensemble: ICELab 2011
@ (le) poisson rouge

Nathan Davis (b. 1973) has crafted a cycle of beautiful new works for a small combination of instruments that transform into an architecture of color, texture, rhythm and breath. Using microphones as microscopes, he draws out the fine details of sound that exist all around us, making music that magnifies the essential characteristics of instruments and the fragile athleticism of playing them.
