Bachtopus Releases Seventh Commission - USAby Christine Johnstone |
Video: Bachtopus: Six of One (Half Dozen of the Other) by Bob Goldberg. Recorded at their respective homes during quarantine. Audio mixing and video editing by Rob Duncan. Bachtopus is excited to release the seventh commission from their 2020 Composers Commissioning Fund, which was written for them by composer and accordionist Bob Goldberg. This piece started as a modal improvisation that was performed at a community garden on June 1st, 2008. The title, referring to the date, was given by the composer rather spontaneously. Bachtopus includes accordionists Robert Duncan, Peter Flint, Mayumi Miyaoka, and Jeanne Velonis. The Bachtopus Accordion Ensemble’s 2020 Composer Commissioning Fund is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC). |
