We recently sat down with ICElab composer Nathan Davis to discuss his writing process, on the eve of the release of his new album on New Focus Recordings, The Bright and Hollow Sky.
In this episode of the ICEcast, Nathan tells us about composing for his friends in ICE, pulling inspiration from author Italo Calvino, dadaist Hugo Ball, and Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert, in addition to what it’s like for a professional percussionist & composer to try to make notes on a bassoon.
Hear selections from the new record, as well as New York and World Premiere compositions by Davis, performed live at our next free ICElab concert at (le) Poisson Rouge on May 31, 2011. To make reservations, e-mail ice@lprnyc.com.
