Elevated

Released On: September 1, 2005

Label: Cantaloupe Music

Sku #: CA21029

Every order includes a free sampler CD of Lang's music from the forthcoming (Untitled) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring pieces not found on his individual Cantaloupe discs**

Dark, emotional and exquisitely beautiful, David Lang's new disc Elevated has premiere recordings of 3 recent works. Taken together, these pieces create a world in which consonance fights dissonance, hope struggles against hopelessness, and simple melodies are constantly beset by gravity, weight and decay.

The enclosed DVD captures collaborations between Lang and three giants of contemporary visual arts:

  • pioneer William Wegman,
  • experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison (Decasia)
  • conceptual artist Matt Mullican.

Lang used his pieces as a way to open up different pathways to these artists and their work, setting an early (and very controversial) Wegman video to music, and giving music to Morrison and Mullican for them to build new visuals around. The results are stunning, moody and sometimes very disturbing.
