About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Combining two of Michael Gordon's most daring large-scale orchestral works, Dystopia documents the composer's dream of not only stretching the capabilities of the modern symphony, but in his words, of Inchexploring the gray areas between harmony and dissonance.Inch on it's own, the music of Dystopia paints a picture of one city's future - in this case, the city of Los Angeles - that is frenzied, chaotic, dazzling, electric, and ultimately... loud. Gordon had discovered similar sensibilities in composing 'Rewriting Beethoven's Seventh Symphony'. Using one element from each of the original movements as a starting point, Gordon crafts a post-modern take on the master's classical forms that managed both to mesmerize and scandalize the audience at Beethoven fest Bonn, who commissioned the work for it's 2006 premiere. Taken together, both works re-imagine the 21st c. symphony as equally reverent of the past (if not also a bit irreverent), while envisioning, as an L.A. Times review of the Dystopia premiere put it, Incha drunken fugue of the future.Inch Album Tracks 1. Michael Gordon Dystopia 2. Rewriting Beehtoven's Seventh Symphony Part I / Partii / Part III / Part IV

It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz. While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.
