About
Ekkozone Records is thrilled to release WISDOM’s Sources/’O’o, a ground-breaking new album from Pulitzer Prize-winning US composer Roger Reynolds, which continues his visionary collaboration with producer Mathias Reumert, and features all premiere recordings.
The album shows Reynolds’ experimental fervor remains undimmed. Each work discovers in sound, and in the case of WISDOM’s Sources, in imagery as well – a way of thinking through the conditions of being alive in the 21st century. Together, they testify to the depth of Reynolds’s friendships and the range of his imagination, with both works growing out of collaborations with performers long entwined with Reynolds’s creative life. Cast for flute and strings, ’O’o was written for and is performed by the eminent Canadian flutist Robert Aitken, a friend and collaborator with Reynolds since the 1960s. The work also features the award-winning and distinguished Canadian violinists Yolanda Bruno and Mark Lee, violist Rory McLeod, and cellist Leana Rutt. Similarly, WISDOM’s Sources, a duo for violin and viola, was composed for the legendary violinist Irvine Arditti and illustrious violist Ralf Ehlers during a visit to San Diego in the summer of 2024.
