Bang on a Can Cantaloupe Music

The new full-length album of composer/clarinetist Evan Ziporyn's orchestral works! Created in partnership with the heralded Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the new album, Frog's Eye, finds Ziporyn applying his global ear, honed on 25 years of experience with Balinese gamelan and world fusion, to the sounds and structures of the western orchestra.

The four pieces that make up Frog's Eye form a vibrant narrative of sound and emotion. Created in collaboration with conductor Gil Rose's Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the album showcases Ziporyn's ability to reinvent standard ensembles through the savvy addition of Hawaiian guitar, electric piano, Tang dynasty poetry, and his own unique virtuosity on the bass clarinet. Fused together, these diverse musical influences ultimately create an album of expansive stylistic and musical scope.
