Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: Mixed Company

HILLER/LONDON SINFONIETTA - GudmundsenHolmgreenMixedIn Splendidly eccentric and gloriously chaotic, HILLER/LONDON SINFONIETTA's latest offering, "GudmundsenHolmgreenMixedIn," is a wild ride through the minds of three musical geniuses. From the opening track that sounds like a symphony of cats in heat to the closing piece that feels like a tornado in a teacup, this album is a rollercoaster of avant-garde brilliance. The Danish trio of composer-performers, Bent Sørensen, Hans Abrahamsen, and Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, have truly outdone themselves on this one. Their masterful orchestration and fearless experimentation make for a truly unique listening experience. It's like Stravinsky and Captain Beefheart had a love child and raised it in a conservatory. Tracks like "Piano Mania" and "Noise Parade" will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure, while "Drum Circle Dystopia" and "Tuba Tango" will transport you to a musical dimension you never knew existed. The album's title track, a 20-minute opus of atonal cacophony, is a tour de force of dissonance and discord. In conclusion, "GudmundsenHolmgreenMixedIn" is a masterpiece of modern classical music that defies categorization and demands repeat listens. HILLER/LONDON SINFONIETTA have once again proven why they are true innovators in the world of experimental music. This album is a must-listen for anyone with an adventurous ear and a love of the avant-garde.
