Wayward Free Radical Dreams

Wayward Free Radical Dreams, from the album Vespers for a New Dark Age
Missy Mazzoli / Victoire / Glenn Kotche / Lorna Dune
Composer Missy Mazzoli and her ensemble Victoire have teamed up with Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, synth producer Lorna Dune and virtuosic vocalists Mellissa Hughes, Martha Cluver and Virginia Warnken (of Roomful of Teeth) to record Mazzoli’s expansive new work, Vespers for a New Dark Age, out now on New Amsterdam Records. Over two years in the making, Vespers for a New Dark Age is a brazen interpretation of the vespers prayer service that replaces the customary sacred verses with texts by poet Matthew Zapruder.
Victoire is: Olivia De Prato, Mellissa Hughes, Lorna Krier, Eileen Mack, Missy Mazzoli, Eleonore Oppenheim

“…ravishing, unsettling…”

“Mazzoli’s ensemble Victoire, cleverly orchestrated, provides settings both cinematic and intimate at once, while Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche adds evocative scrims of percussion and some thunderous pounding.”

“…music that once sounded like the lonely movement of your own thoughts now calls out to you in a voice of its own.”

This is exactly what I want to do. I don't have a classical background but I'm going to try to do it anyway. Cheers to what you're doing!
