PITCH BLACK: The Music of Jacob ter Veldhuis
Jacob ter Veldhuis has emerged as one of the Netherlands’ most engaging and provocative contemporary composers. Strongly influenced by rock, his musical language employs expressive, stylistic collisions that eviscerate distinctions between high and popular idioms. His compositions for saxophones and boom box incorporate samples ranging from Chet Baker to the Jerry Springer Show to religious fanatics in Times Square.
