One Sheet

Virgil Moorefield’s new recording, Things You Must Do to Get to Heaven, is the third in a series of CDs of instrumental music by this maverick composer with one foot firmly in classical music– and the other just as firmly in art-rock drumming. Things offers a remarkable blend of acoustic and electronic instruments, as well as a subtle exploration of rhythm and timbre. But you won’t hear much drumming, at least not on a kit.

While his ensemble’s previous recordings explored the domains of microtonality and comprovisation, says Moorefield, “this new work is primarily introspective. It takes place on a couple of levels; the music explores psychological space, but there’s also a structural concern with having the entire ensemble work as a sort of big drum set, stepping through tightly organized themes and variations.”

Moorefield’s music reflects the broad range of his musical experience (he is a prominent member of the New York Downtown music scene, and teaches composition and new media at the University of Michigan), and will likely appeal to listeners whose music collections stretch far and wide.
