Joe Cutler demonstrates his multi-faceted style of composition in this first collection of his works on NMC. His music is<br />
influenced by the minimalist music of Louis Andriessen, the driving energy of Igor Stravinsky and his love for complex<br />
rhythms and jazz.<br />
Joe uses unconventional direction in his score to conjure up the mood he want for his composition. The laid-back melismatic<br />
solos in Archie are directed to be played 'grundgily' [sic] and for Sal’s Sax the wild, rhythmic passages are marked as “really<br />
pumping” along with a carefully chosen Jack Kerouac quote: 'I like my whiskey wild, I like Saturday night in the shack to be<br />
crazy … I like to be gassed by a back alley music’.<br />
NMC D108: OPERA ‘new works for violin and piano’ (feat. Cutler’s ‘re(GAIA)’)<br />
‘Of the six young British composers sampled here, Joe Cutler dispenses with the piano for a hard-edged fantasy which embraces virtuosity with the freedom of<br />
composers as disparate as Pärt and Zimmermann’ THE STRAD<br />
NMC D078: State of the Nation (feat. Cutler’s ‘Without fear of vertigo’)<br />
THE GUARDIAN CLASSICAL CD OF THE WEEK, 2002<br />
NMC D080: Bright Future (feat. Cutler’s ‘Jiggadybox’)<br />
‘Committed playing throughout by the Schubert Ensemble ... those who’ve already acquired the earlier volume need not hesitate: an ideal starting-point to<br />
experience the rewards of Chamber <strong>Music</strong> 2000’ GRAMOPHONE<br />
