"Ken Ueno: Talus" offers three concerti that collectively represent Ueno's long-term collaboration with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project and its bold conductor Gil Rose. Composed with specific soloists in mind, each work reveals unconventional techniques and intriguing artistry, bringing to light the unique performance capabilities of the featured instrumentalists. The first piece, "Talus," begins with a shocking opening (à la Wendy Richman, viola) and is followed by Ueno's own vocal performance in "On A Sufficient Condition for the Existence of Most Specific Hypothesis." The recording concludes with "Kaze-no-Oka," a tribute to Toru Takemitsu, with shakuhachi and biwa soloists.
