Grammy Award-winning, Chicago-based percussion quartet Third Coast Percussion teams up with influential, genre-defying multi-instrumentalist, record producer, songwriter, singer, and composer Devont Hynes (aka Blood Orange) for an album of imaginative, evocative instrumental music created as the live soundtrack for choreography by the adventurous Hubbard Street Dance Chicago company. The albums three works, all world-premiere recordings, represent Hyness debut on disc as a classical composer. In Perfectly Voiceless, Philip Glass-style minimalism gives way to a catchy pop melody. There Was Nothing blends synthesizer sounds with bowed mallet percussion instruments and moments of meditative lyricism recall the music of Lou Harrison. The expressive harmonies within the gauzy textures of For All Its Fury point to Hynes love of Debussy. Third Coast arranged Hynes music for its immense collection of diverse instruments and performed them on stage with the Hubbard Street dancers in Chicago and on tour. The Los Angeles Times praised Hynes lush score and Third Coasts ability to summon otherworldly sounds from a multitude of idiophones, drums and other devices. Chicagos New City Stage applauded Third Coasts extraordinary performance and ceaseless river of sound.

The Dallas Morning News called Third Coast s concert performance arresting and enjoyable. TheaterJones called it unforgettable and said, There was something magical about the performance, but it is almost impossible to describe the experience in mere words.
