Vancouver New Music Concert Series - Eve Egoyan
By VNMS on March 4, 2008 - 3:18pm
Eve Egoyan performs Alvin Curran's "Inner Cities".
"'Inner Cities' began in 1991 as a single innocent piano piece and has now evolved into a musical cycle of 12 pieces sometimes performed in its 6-hour entirety My goal, as always, was to reduce the musical elements to their ultimate essences, to repudiate and embrace dualism, and to emulate, even in permanent notation, the feel of spontaneous music-making. The music therefore is open, unhurried, brutally lyrical, quiet, private and tonal as it is raucous, aggressively impolite and obsessively meticulous in making the simple relations between tones and durations an unending adventure of personal wonder.” -Alvin Curran
