Tyshawn SoreyDrums, Compositions

Tyshawn Sorey is an iconoclastic drummer and composer who has persistently challenged himself to break new boundaries - yet each of his projects has displayed an impressive concentration of creative purpose. Sorey has composed works for solo piano, various chamber ensembles, and for his working group OBLIQUE. His recent album That/Not is an impressive panorama of music running from tight group improvisations to architectonic notated music. At New Languages he presents the world premiere of Wu-Wei (Chapter Three), a multi-part work commissioned by Roulette and supported by the Jerome Foundation and the Van Lier Fellowship.
