Vineland Staele Sandeep Bhagwati, Composer Mike Svboda, Trombone REDCAT, 2007 At once sweeping in scope and finespun in its intricacies, this ambitious new work by Indian-German composer Sandeep Bhagwati is a full-evening structured improvisation that brings together a head-spinning array of music practices from different parts of the world—all working to conjure a new and unabashedly polyglot musical culture. Led by renowned new music trombonist Mike Svoboda, a 30-piece configuration of the CalArts New Century Players fans out across the theater in small groups and performs the piece on conventional Western instruments, shakuhachi, sarode, tabla, jal tarang, gamelan metallophones and Ewe drums. The immersive theatrical environment of carefully controlled lighting and electronic augmentation results in a musical event of heightened theatrical intensity—a transformed concert experience.
