MAN FOREVER & SO PERCUSSI – RYONEN
$18.90
Man Forever is an exploratory percussion project helmed by John Colpitts (aka Kid Millions), one of New York’s most versatile and critically lauded collaborators and a founding member of Oneida. Since its inception in 2010, Man Forever has hosted an impressive list of guest performers, but few have been as specially qualified to perform Colpitts’ technically challenging meditative workouts as So Percussion, the United States’ premiere contemporary percussion ensemble. So Percussion have commissioned and premiered new compositions by Steve Reich and their interpretations of John Cage have revolutionized the legendary composer’s cannon. They have collaborated with Matmos, Dan Deacon, Medeski Martin & Wood, Glenn Kotche (Wilco) and The Dirty Projectors, as well as composers Steve Reich, Arvo Pa”rt, Fred Frith, David Lang (Bang On A Can) and Paul Lansky. Following a collaborative performance at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York in June of 2013, So Percussion and Colpitts entered the studio together to record yonen’, two pieces that combine the former’s precision and ingenuity with the latter’s restless punk spirit. While previous Man Forever records were inspired by blissful, overwhelming confusion, yonen’ derives its power from its clarity and immediacy.
