Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally commissioned as a dance score for the Grupo Corpo ballet company, this composition was brilliantly adapted by Marco Ant么nio Guimar茫es for the Brazilian instrumental group Uakti. The ensemble's custom-built PVC pipe instruments provide a uniquely organic, rhythmically vibrant interpretation of Philip Glass's standard minimalist structures.
