Out today is the third installment in Ekkozone Records’ series of recordings devoted to the music of Roger Reynolds, as active as ever at 91. The strikingly original works here include WISDOM’s Sources, which grew out of Reynolds’s longstanding creative friendship with violinist Irvine Arditti, and ‘O’o’ – named for the now-extinct Hawaiian bird and written for flutist Robert Aitken. Danish percussionist and producer Mathias Reumert has been documenting Reynolds’s music in this remarkable series.
