Synopsis
Product Description
Percussion is the primary focus but this creative ensemble also combines composed and improvised music.
GUSTAVO AGUILAR is a percussionist, composer, and improviser. He has been honing his craft as a music artisan for almost two decades. His commitment to combining pre-composed (notated) and present-composed (improvised) musical elements has earned him the reputation as an "intuitive and a methodical mystic." His music has been called "beautiful, introspective and passionate,"(The Improvisor) as well as "thought-provoking and thoroughly fresh" (Signal to Noise). For well over a decade, Aguilar has dedicated himself to the Creative Musician approach to composition and improvisation with roots that can be traced to the 1960s and to Chicago's AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Music). He has been mentored by and performed with, Creative Music luminary and AACM member, Wadada Leo Smith, and has appeared as a soloist/group collaborator at major festivals throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, including IRCAM's Festival Agora (Paris), the Zagreb Biennale International Festival of New Music (Croatia), the Ulrichsberger Kaleidophon International Jazz and Improv Festival (Austria), the Copenhagen Jazz Festival (Denmark), the American Composer's Orchestra Improvise! Festival (NYC), the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Green Umbrella New Music Series, and the Interpretations Music Series (NYC).
