The first Tzadik release outside Japan of music by one of the most original and underappreciated composers in contemporary music—Jose Maceda.

The hypnotic Suling-suling, scored for a huge ensemble of bamboo flutes, Colors without Rhythm, one of his most dynamic orchestral compositions and Pagsamba, one of the strangest masses ever written for gongs, voices and bamboos, recorded live in an open air temple in the Philippines.  Rarely heard music by a rarely heard composer.

 

Produced by Tzadik, 2001
