Selected Discography
Wonderful music from the new era of young composers. It's great to hear artists blending minimalist technique with more pop culture influence. I can see this as a kind of middle ground between Steve Reich and the folkism of pop artists like Sufjan Stevens and Death Cab for Cutie. You can hear Aaron Copland's influence streaming through the whole thing also. Beautiful work, something more modern composers should aspire to.
