William Anderson, composer, guitarist, ensemble director, and champion of new American music, soaked up contemporary American music for 30 years, working directly with composers from all over the map. In the last 15 years Anderson began composing works that draw on that experience, with a particular concern for finding a coherent way to make maximalism and minimalism work together; how to make embarrassingly simple and charming music work with the most complex musical modalities? Pastiche is not an option.
