Dashow- Synchronies (2pk) (CD)
Characterized by orchestral flavors and electronic infusions, SYNCHRONIES by composer James Dashow blends contrasting musical conventions to be symbiotic: an approach indicative of Dashow's ideologies of outward facing themes contributing to a singular purpose. Enjoy the precision and unique timbre proposed by electronic elements juxtaposed with classical instrumentation that challenges performers and delights listeners. James Dashow has had commissions, awards and grants from the Bourges International Festival of Experimental Music, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Linz Ars Electronica Festival, the Fromm Foundation, the Biennale di Venezia, the USA National Endowment for the Arts, RAI (Italian National Radio), the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the Rockefeller Foundation, Il Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte (Montepulciano, Italy), the Koussevitzky Foundation, Prague Musica Nova, and the Harvard Musical Association of Boston. In 2000, he was awarded the prestigious Prix Magistere at the 30th Festival International de Musique et d'Art Sonore Electroacoustiques in Bourges.
