Drummer and composer makes sessions from his latest CD available for remix on the Blend platform
(New York, NY - June 5, 2014) Wilco drummer and composer Glenn Kotche invites musicians, producers and audacious fans to Blend (http://blend.io
), the premier music collaboration platform, to reimagine his seven-movement piece Anomaly, composed by Kotche for the renowned Kronos Quartet and featured on his latest album Adventureland, out now on Cantaloupe Music.
The Blend campaign launches in tandem with the June 24 release of Kotche’s exclusive iTunes digital EPFantasyland (http://bit.ly/fantasyland_ep). Conceived as a companion piece to the critically lauded Adventureland — released in March and featuring Kronos Quartet, Chicago’s eighth blackbird ensemble and
Gamelan Galak Tika — the four-song EP offers a rare look at Kotche’s tireless work ethic in the studio.
“I’m very proud of the extra material and performances that were directly related to Adventureland,"
Kotche says, “so I wanted people to be able to hear them. In a way, the
listener is getting a glimpse into the creative process of making a
record by hearing these pieces in their original forms.”
Anomaly will
be available for listening, remixing and reimagining via Blend — a
music collaboration platform that amplifies existing music making
workflows and integrates seamlessly with Dropbox. Blend is currently an
invite-only community, but this VIP link will grant instant access to
the Glenn Kotche project: https://blend.io/vip/cantaloupe
Glenn Kotche plays Celebrate Brooklyn!
on July 5 at the Prospect Park Bandshell, along with the Robert Glasper Experiment featuring Talib Kweli. Details at http://bricartsmedia.org.
