_______________________________________________________________________
Born in the UK, and now a resident of Melbourne, composer
Chris Dench is a member of the new complexity movement along
with Brian Ferneyhough, James Dillon and Richard Barrett. His
music, rich with challenges and detail, is sorely
under-recorded and Tzadik is proud to present four of his most
extreme and passionate compositions in startling performances
by some of the best musicians in the Australian New Music
scene. Highlighting this disc is his infamous percussion
quartet from 1995, beyond status geometry, which was labeled
ôunplayableö until this startling and virtuosic performance. A
powerful disc of new music from AustraliaÆs most accomplished
modernist.
