Title: Another DS Reference
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on April 23, 2005, 05:52:38 PM

Anthony Braxton's Creative Orchestra Music shows what Braxon can do in a big band (sort of) context. To use a snarky reviewer MusicDescriptionGenerator trick, this music sounds like a big band dropping acid and then watching either Saturday morning cartoons or Dark Shadows re-runs. It's energetic, it's spooky, it's funny, it's....well, there's not a lot of large ensemble music this quirky. And, it's surprisingly accessible. If you've never heard Braxon before, starting here might not be a bad idea.

If Robert Cobert remains unavailable (he had supposedly passed up on scoring the WB DS if it had gone to series), maybe DC should hire Anthony Braxton to score any future DS projects.  ;)
