FAUVE, for chamber orchestra with rock band
composed by Joe Meland
performed by the Illinois Modern Ensemble and Feral States at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Urbana, IL
Audio recorded and mixed by Bill Demkov


I wrote 'FAUVE' between August, 2014 and January, 2015. The piece, which is a pseudo-concerto for rock band, is in four movements and represents my love of Messiaen, Meshuggah, and everything in between. The title 'FAUVE' is both a homage to the band's original name and a comparison between the polystylism of the piece with the wildly contrasting colors characteristic of Fauvism. Between polyrhythmic grooves, improvisatory sections, and musical jokes, the piece is an attempt to achieve an original take on the fusion of contemporary classical music with rock/metal without taking itself too seriously.

Semi-Simple Variations

IR Indigenous Resistance is a global resistance collective creating music that is crucial to the Indigenous movement.

A release like IR26 THIS LAND IS NOT FOR SALE/IVERE is only possible because in addition to the talented and generous musicians who contribute to the recordings there are folks behind the scenes often in the shadows who contribute so much and so often on short notice for the cause. Sound engineers like Alejandra Toro Salom (Colombia), designers like Dubdem (Brasil), Tapedave (USA), translators like Moondub (Uruguay), Manueladub (Colombia), Olovotu (Solomon Islands) & Jahteecha (Jamaica). IR participants are found in many countries some of which are often described as ‘third “ or "fourth" world many of IR's working locations are extremely deficient in technology. This creates a network and working environment that requires intense cooperation revolving around the relaying of materials, logistical help in file delivery and the usual pitching in to make sure essential things happen across "the digital divide." What is as normal as uploading a sound file through WeTransfer in say, Boston, can take hours where IR is traveling. That is, if the internet does not go down during the process.

Disorder [FULL ALBUM]

Like a less pastoral Canterbury Scene record, Mash relentlessly perverts generic conventions- rocking like a mother and bewildering and overjoying in equal abundance.
