The Getty Address

Dirty Projectors

A glitchy, orchestral concept opera about Don Henley. Stuttering woodwinds and lush choral arrangements collide with early digital experimentation.

April 5, 2005 · Tamla Motown

A cerebral and surrealist meditation that balances academic coldness with sudden bursts of choral warmth.
