Michael Gordon (USA)
Michael Gordon is, together with composers David Lang and Julia Wolfe, one of the founders of New York based collective Bang on a Can, which is dedicated to commissioning, performing, creating, presenting and recording contemporary music. His compositions demonstrate a deep exploration into the possibilities and nature of rhythm and what happens when rhythms are piled on top of each other, creating a glorious confusion. Gordon's special interest in adding dimensions to the concert experience has led to frequent collaborations with artists in other media.
In his music, Gordon combines the intensity and force of rock music with more formal aspects of musical composition. In Emio Greco | PC’s creation [purgatorio] POPOPERA Gordon introduces those rock elements into the joint exploration of the relation between music and dance.
