This fascinating programme brings together some of the most iconic percussion music by Varese, Reich, Cowell, Chavez, Harrison and Cage, written in the 30's and 40's of the 20th century. The composers on this disc share their American identity, deriving their inspiration from such diverse sources as medieval music, African culture, astrophysics, Latin-American and Mexican music. The Italian ensemble Tetraktis is one of the most innovating and groundbreaking percussion groups of today. They work closely together with contemporary composers and freely adopt influences from other musical cultures like Rock, Pop, Jazz and Dance. They regularly perform in festivals all over the world.
