MUSIC
About THE VINYL SIX Commissioned by the ensemble Avian Music for a program of Rock & Roll chamber music, The Vinyl Six is, on the surface, a straightforward mixed ensemble work. Preconceptions start to fall apart, however, with the instrumentation—a sort of Pierrot-ensemble gone Bad … as if Clarence Clemens and Slash jumped onstage at the Chamber Music Society. TV6 also looks suspiciously like a theme and variations (a tried-and-true chamber music form). Only this one shows off a blues cadence through a variety of slow funk, fusion, folk-rock, hairband, and pop grooves. Think of your old record collection and raise your lighters for The Vinyl Six…
