PROGRAM NOTES Music for Airports (1978) Brian Eno (b. 1948) When we first heard Music for Airports in the late seventies/early eighties it was like a door cracking open. This record-long piece was mesmerizing, dreamy, intense, and meant to be played in or thought of as fitting into a specific environment. It was a redefinition of how we relate to music in our everyday lives. Brian Eno was exploring the question of where music could go. Could its home lie somewhere outside of the muzak of elevators and dentists’ offices and outside of the concert hall as well? Could it exist somewhere in between?

Eno was essentially defining ambient music. When Music for Airports was released there were no ambient departments in record stores. There were no New Age or techno sections, no chill rooms. Music for Airports kicked off a whole web of music that hadn’t existed previously. But the unique factor about Eno’s work was that although it could and can exist in the background of everyday life, it is music that carries a potency and integrity that goes far beyond the incidental. It’s music that is carefully, beautifully, brilliantly constructed, and its compositional techniques rival the most intricate of symphonies.

What Eno didn’t imagine was that his piece would be realized with live musicians. In his analog studio, methodically stringing out bits of tape and looping them over themselves, he hadn’t anticipated that a new generation of musicians would take his music out of the studio and perform it on live instruments in a public forum. At Bang on a Can, we have always searched for the redefinition of music and exploring the boundaries outside of what is expected. This project represents a further step in this exploration. After 35 years, where does this landmark piece fit into our ever expanding definition? The effect has only begun.

The Music for Airports revolution is just beginning to unfold.

The live realization of Music for Airports stays close to the source. We have had the great pleasure of sharing the project plans with Brian Eno along the way. We are indebted to him for giving us the experience of getting inside and out of this monumental work.

—Michael Gordon, David Lang, Julia Wolfe, Founders, Bang on a Can

ABOUT THE ARTISTS Brian Eno (born on 15 May 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, England) is an English electronic musician, music theorist, and record producer. As a solo artist, he is probably best known as the father of modern ambient music, though he is also a highly celebrated record producer.

With an art school background and inspiration from minimalism, Eno first came to prominence as the keyboard and synthesizer player of the 1970s glam and art rock band Roxy Music.

After leaving the group, he recorded four highly idiosyncratic and original rock albums, before turning to more abstract soundscapes on records such as Discreet Music (1975) and Ambient 1/Music for Airports (1978). Since then he has made dozens of albums, many with similarly minded collaborators such as Harold Budd, Cluster, John Cale, David Byrne, and Robert Fripp.

Eno also became involved in pop music collaborations beginning in the late 1970s, joining David Bowie on his avant-garde Berlin Trilogy and helping to popularize the band Devo and the punk rock¬–influenced “No Wave” scene. He is also notable for introducing the concepts of chance music to pop and rock and roll. Eno’s production and songwriting credits include critical and commercial successes by Talking Heads and U2, such as Remain in Light and The Joshua Tree, as well as work with James, Slowdive, and Paul Simon.

Program

Eno has pursued several artistic ventures parallel to his music career, including visual art installations, a regular column in the newspaper The Observer, and, with artist Peter Schmidt, Oblique Strategies, a deck of cards recommending various artistic strategies.

Cellist Ashley Bathgate has been described as an “eloquent new music interpreter” (New York Times) and “a rising star of her instrument” (Albany Times Union) who combines “bittersweet lyricism along with ferocious chops” (New York magazine). Her “impish ferocity,” “rich tone,” and “imaginative phrasing” (New York Times) have made her one of the most sought after performers of her time. The desire to create a dynamic energy exchange with her audience and build upon the ensuing chemistry is a pillar of her philosophy as a performer. Bathgate’s affinity to dynamism drives herself to venture into previously uncharted areas of groundbreaking sounds and techniques, breaking the mold of a cello’s traditionally perceived voice.

Collaborators and fans alike describe her vitality as nothing short of remarkable and magical for all who are involved. She is a member of the award–winning, internationally acclaimed sextet, Bang on a Can All-Stars; as well as two chamber groups of which she is a founding member: TwoSense and Bonjour.

Robert Black tours the world creating unheard of music for the solo double bass. He collaborates with the most adventurous composers, musicians, dancers, artists, actors, and technophiles from all walks of life. He has commissioned, collaborated, or performed with musicians from John Cage to D.J. Spooky, Elliott Carter to Meredith Monk, Cecil Taylor to young emerging composers, as well as the Brazilian painter Ige D’Aquino, Japanese choreographer Yoshiko Chuma, American actor Kathryn Walker, English sound artist/DJ Mira Calix, and Swiss-American film maker Rudy Burckhardt. Black is a founding member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars, and he teaches at The Hartt School at the University of Hartford, the Festival Eleazar de Carvalho (Brazil), and the Manhattan School of Music’s contemporary performance program. His current project, Possessed, is a series of solo improvisatory outdoor performances in Utah’s rugged canyon/desert landscape, which will be released in DVD and CD format on Cantaloupe Records in 2015. www.robertblack.org Canadian pianist Vicky Chow has been described as “brilliant” (New York Times), and “one of the new stars of new music” (Los Angeles Times). Joining the Bang on a Can All-Stars in 2009, she is also a member of New Music Detroit, Grand Band, and has worked with other ensembles such as International Contemporary Ensemble, Wet Ink Ensemble, and TRANSIT. As an artist frequently broadcasted on WNYC’s Q2 radio, her recorded works can be found on labels such as Nonesuch, Cantaloupe, Tzadik, New Amsterdam, and Innova. Her latest album Tristan Perich: Surface Image was on the top albums of 2014 list in Rolling Stone magazine and her performances of Cage and Feldman was featured in the BBC3 series The Sound and The Fury. In addition to performing, she curates a new music series Contagious Sounds in New York. Chow is a graduate of The Juilliard School. www.vickychow.com David Cossin was born and raised in Queens, New York, and his interest in classical percussion, drum set, non-western hand drumming, composition, and improvisation has led to performances across a broad spectrum of musical and artistic forms to incorporate new media with percussion. Cossin has recorded and performed internationally with Steve Reich and Musicians, Philip Glass, Yo-Yo Ma, Meredith Monk, Tan Dun, Cecil Taylor, and Talujon Percussion Quartet. Numerous theater projects include collaborations with Blue Man Group, Mabou Mines, and director Peter Sellars. He was featured as the percussion soloist in Tan Dun’s Grammy– and Oscar–winning score to Ang Lee’s film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Most recently, he performed with Sting on his latest world tour, Symphonicity. He has performed as a soloist with orchestras throughout the world including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Orchestra Radio France, Sao Paulo State Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Hong Kong Symphony, and the Singapore Symphony. www.davidcossin.com.

He works with several major London producers, specializing in contemporary music projects with artists and concert series as diverse as Elvis Costello and John Harle, the BBC Promenade Series and Late Junction, Meltdown, George Russell, Carla Bley, Talvin Singh, and Colin Currie. He collaborates with composers Michael Gordon, Julia Wolfe, and David Lang on their pieces for the All-Stars, as well as large ensemble, dance, and theater pieces. He also acts as technical manager and sound collaborator with percussionist Evelyn Glennie DBE. Formed in 1992, the Bang on a Can All-Stars are recognized worldwide for their ultradynamic live performances and recordings of today’s most innovative music. Freely crossing the boundaries between classical, jazz, rock, world and experimental music, this sixmember amplified ensemble has consistently forged a distinct category-defying identity, taking music into uncharted territories. Performing each year throughout the U.S. and internationally, the All-Stars have shattered the definition of what concert music is today.

Together, the All-Stars have worked in unprecedented close collaboration with some of the most important and inspiring musicians of our time, including Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Burmese circle drum master Kyaw Kyaw Naing, Tan Dun, DJ Spooky, and many more. The group’s celebrated projects include their landmark recordings of Brian Eno’s ambient classic Music for Airports and Terry Riley’s In C, as well as live performances with Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Don Byron, Iva Bittova, Thurston Moore, Owen Pallett, and others. The All-Stars were awarded Musical America’s Ensemble of the Year in 2005 and have been heralded as “the country’s most important vehicle for contemporary music” by the San Francisco Chronicle.

The AllStars record on Cantaloupe Music and have released past recordings on Sony, Universal and Nonesuch.

Bang on a Can is dedicated to making music new. Since its first Marathon concert in 1987, Bang on a Can has been creating an international community dedicated to innovative music, wherever it is found. With adventurous programs—it commissions new composers, performs, presents, and records new work, develops new audiences, and educates the musicians of the future. Bang on a Can is building a world in which powerful new musical ideas flow freely across all genres and borders and plays “a central role in fostering a new kind of audience that doesn’t concern itself with boundaries. If music is made with originality and integrity, these listeners will come.” (New York Times) Over the last 27 years, Bang on a Can has grown from a one-day New York–based marathon concert (on Mother’s Day in 1987 in a SoHo art gallery) to a multi-faceted performing arts organization with a broad range of year-round international activities. “When we started Bang on a Can in 1987, in an art gallery in SoHo, we never imagined that our one-day, 12hour marathon festival of mostly unknown music would morph into a giant international organization dedicated to the support of experimental music, wherever we would find it,” write Bang on a Can Co-Founders Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe. “But it has, and we are so gratified to be still hard at work, all these years later. The reason is really clear to us—we started this organization because we believed that making new music is a utopian act—that people needed to hear this music and they needed to hear it presented in the most persuasive way, with the best players, with the best programs, for the best listeners, in the best context. Our commitment to changing the environment for this music has kept us busy and growing for the last 27 years, and we are not done yet.”

Current projects include the annual Bang on a Can Marathon; The People’s Commissioning Fund, a membership program to commission emerging composers; the Bang on a Can All-Stars, who tour to major festivals and concert venues around the world every year; recording projects; the Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival—a professional development program for young composers and performers led by today’s pioneers of experimental music; Asphalt Orchestra, Bang on a Can’s extreme street band that offers mobile performances recontextualizing unusual music; Found Sound Nation, a new technologybased musical outreach program now partnering with the State Department of the United States of America to create OneBeat, a revolutionary, post-political residency program that uses music to bridge the gulf between young American musicians and young musicians from developing countries; cross-disciplinary collaborations and projects with DJs, visual artists, choreographers, filmmakers, and more. Each new program has evolved to answer specific challenges faced by today’s musicians, composers and audiences, in order to Innovation

make innovative music widely accessible and wildly received. Bang on a Can’s inventive and aggressive approach to programming and presentation has created a large and vibrant international audience made up of people of all ages who are rediscovering the value of contemporary music.
