Emio Greco|PC

Michael Gordon is, together with composers David Lang and Julia Wolfe, one of the founders of New York based collective Bang on a Can, which is dedicated to commissioning, performing, creating, presenting and recording contemporary music.

Gordon's compositions demonstrate a deep exploration into the possibilities and nature of rhythm and what happens when rhythms are piled on top of each other, creating a glorious confusion. John Adams, who has conducted Gordon's works with the London Sifonietta and Ensemble Modern, calls these raw and complicated sounds "irrational rhythms."

Gordon's special interest in adding dimensions to the concert experience has led to frequent collaborations with artists in other media.

Gordon's most significant recent project is a new CD from Nonesuch, Light is Calling. The music is sonic and sensual with layers of violins, electric guitars and voice in counterpoint with studio-based electronic creations. Other recent works include Potassium for the Kronos Quartet, Trance for Icebreaker, and Weather, for Ensemble Resonanz.

Gordon's Music has been presented at BAM, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Royal Albert Hall, the Bonn Opera, the Sydney 2000 Olympic Arts Festival, and the Holland, Rotterdam, Edinburgh, St. Petersburgh, and Settembre Musica festivals, and in the choreography of the Royal Ballet, Eliot Feld and Emio Greco│PC . His CD's include Light is Calling (Nonesuch), Decasia (Cantaloupe), Weather (Nonesuch) and Lost Objects (Teldec).
