Dutch ensemble Fuse recorded FZ's 'Echidna's Arf' and released it on their first album in 2016.
In the meantime, the sextet has released 3 more albums, with "Mikrokosmos" being released earlier this year.
- Julia Philippens - violin
- Emma van der Schalie - violin
- Mascha van Nieuwkerk - cello
- Adriaan Breunis - viola
- Tobias Nijboer - bass
- Daniel van Dalen – percussion
For "Mikrokosmos", Fuse invited 12 composers from all over the world to write a piece for them.
The result is a beautiful album that blends contemporary classical music, jazz, minimal music, and much more.
Composers: Bryce Dessner, Gabriel Kahane, Miho Hazama, Joey Roukens, Thomas Beijer, JacobTV, Morris Kliphuis, Nathalie Joachim, Kinan Azmeh, Julia Philippens, Xavi Torres and Gabriella Smith.
I saw the ensemble perform in Hamburg and at the Zappanale festival recently, where they performed a set of Frank Zappa tunes, next to material from Mikrokosmos.
The album is out on 2CD and on 2LP. I went for the 2CD set.
