Glenn Kotche

Kotche explores negative rhythm, ideas of the mobile structure and linear stretching and expanding of rhythm on his third solo release. Written sparsely over a nine-month period, the album comprises eight new compositions with inspirations ranging from the Ramayana, Wilco drumbeats, Steve Reich, the Nonesuch Explorer series, and percussionists Tony Allen and Ed Blackwell. The album features a wide range of instruments including vibraphone, kalimba, mbira, and Glenn's custom-assembled drum kit. Visit glennkotche.com for track samples and upcoming solo performances.
