Sepia Ensemble Contemporary Musicians

Description:

This is an album by the Sepia Ensemble, one of the few contemporary music ensembles in Poland. With the exception of Penderecki's String Quartet No. 1, which is "the beginning of a musical journey" for them, the selections are works from the last 20 years. The Japanese composer Atsuko Ezaki, who studied in the U.S. and Vienna, composed "Dansu (Donsu) Dance" inspired by "Dansu," a lustrous patterned fabric made from satin weave (vermillion weave). It is a work in which several different melodic, rhythmic, and tonal patterns intersect like the embroidery of a rug. Tokyo M-Plus
