The new full-length album comprised of composer/clarinetist Evan Ziporyn's orchestral works.
Created in partnership with director Gil Rose's heralded Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Frog's Eye finds Ziporyn applying his global ear - honed by 25 years of experience with Balinese Gamelan and world fusion - to the sounds and structures of the western orchestra.
The four pieces that make up Frog's Eye form a vibrant narrative of sound and emotion. The album showcases Ziporyn's ability to reinvent standard ensembles through the savvy addition of Hawaiian guitar, electric piano, Tang dynasty poetry, and his own unique virtuosity on the bass clarinet. Together, these diverse musical influences ultimately create an album of expansive musical scope.
