A suite in twelve parts of music for 33 musicians composed and improvisationally conducted by percussionist Adam Rudolph. The state of the art recording and mix were done at Bill Laswell's studio and brought together Rudolph s most frequent group of co-creators. 33 New York musicians played everything from the Malian hunter s harp and bamboo trumpets to Fender Rhodes and the Japanese noh-kan flute, forming full-bodied woodwind, brass, and string sections and layer upon layer of intriguing world percussion. This prototypical ensemble has near equal numbers of men and women, spans three generations, and hails from Asia, North Africa, Europe, Central, South and North America.
