P*P

Aaron Gervais — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:26:59 +0000

Toca Loca’s debut album, P*P, includes a fantastic version of my piece, Culture no.2 (or, Shoot Like a Film Star). It also includes great pieces by a range of Canadian composers in the classical, jazz, and pop idioms. From the ensemble:

“P*P examines the fierce and fearsome taxonomy that historically has made some composers soulfully classical, and others popular. The cutting-edge of Canada’s composers write P*P-length, P*P-inspired works, the All-Stars of jazz throw their hats in the ring, and some of Canada’s most interesting indie-rockers flex their contemporary music chops.”
