Eric Wubbels Featured in NY Times
There is a beautiful feature on Eric Wubbels, A Musician’s Turn to Improvisation Bears Fruit, in The New York Times today, thanks to Seth Colter Walls. They discuss the recently released Field of Action / contraposition with Charmaine Lee and Weston Olencki, his Roulette performance from earlier in the week, getting more into and incorporating improvisation in his work, his growth as a composer, moving to Western Mass, AND MORE! The article offers a peek behind the curtain into this brilliant composer's process, who the Times says "with references to many traditions, sounds like nothing by any other composer." Right on, congratulations Eric!
On Field of Action / contraposition:
"These works reflect some of that growth Wubbels was after, and make for his most arresting album as a composer-performer yet."
