About
Franck Bedrossian's monumental Epigram cycle, which has become one of the iconic works of this decade, is finally available to an international audience. Twist, another orchestral piece, portraits his collaboration with IRCAM, and Edges shows Bedrossian as a chamber music composer. After teaching at the University of Berkeley, Bedrossian will return to Europe as the new composition professor at the Kunstuniversität in Graz in early 2020, making this release on the Austrian KAIROS label all the more timely.

The panache with which Bedrossian crafts warbling horns, shimmering accordion and scowling electric guitar betrays an unmistakable Frenchness, a proclivity for carefully crafting colouristic textures. Except that everything’s like a video of a typhoon in fast forward...The spontaneity of post-jazz free improvisation also features; Bedrossian cites Anthony Braxton as more of an influence than Brian Ferneyhough.
