Mario Diaz de Leon + Talea Ensemble + TILT Brass + Claire Chase
Composer and guitarist Mario Diaz de Leon, whose recent works have been hailed for their “hallucinatory intensity” by The New York Times, returns to Roulette with a concert of new works for ensembles. Featuring the world premiere of The Chapel Abyss, an octet composed for Talea Ensemble and commissioned by Roulette/NYSCA, and Bellum for brass septet and electronics, composed for TILT Brass, and Luciform for flute and electronics, performed by Claire Chase,
Diaz de Leon continues his ongoing collaborations with dynamic
classical ensembles of the highest calibre, combining the inventive
language of contemporary classical music with overtones of underground
metal and noise/drone.

Luciform (2013) for flute and electronics with soloist Claire Chase
