Wild Up

Part chamber orchestra, part avant-garde ensemble and part: other. We're progressive noise makers.

Hello! I reviewed @WildUp's newest volume in their Julius Eastman anthology today. I think what I love most about this series is the way it's shaping up to be part archival work, part homage. I'm especially blown away by one of the new arrangements.

The @WildUp plays a 15-minute arrangement of Julius Eastman's 'Stay On It' in the Tiny Desk Concert. Eastman is celebrated as an experimental visionary who brandished his provocative way of getting the listener to think about sound and context.

Ventured to NYC for LA friends @WildUp @orionrountree at the @92ndStreetY in Radical Adornment: The Music of Julius Eastman. Didn’t absorb the full 5-hour “free-flowing”Buddha, but caught a good portion, the resonant photo exhibit & the super awesome musicians at the bar.
