"Moon Viewing Music" is a quiet, mesmerizing work for large Thai-style gongs and tam-tam, performed by the celebrated Grammy-nominated percussionist William Winant. The composer writes: "For me, moon viewing is a year-round activity... This cycle was composed in the winter. There is a unique light and intensity in a winter moon... There is also a special silence... an inscrutable stillness." "Garland's music seems to be about the sheer expressive power of sound itself." (Fanfare magazine) "[Garland is] an artist who knows what he's doing, and then does it-repeatedly, each time out. He's a marvelous artist; I admire his work a lot." (Harold Budd) "Percussionist William Winant has been the avant-elite's go-to percussionist for more than 35 years." (SPIN magazine) Peter Garland's music is informed by his well-traveled ear and intense personal vision. Since the 1970s, his pieces have been marked by a "radical consonance" and simplification of structure and performed around the world by such noted performers as Aki Takahashi, Herbert Henck, and Kronos Quartet. Also a musicologist and writer, he championed the work of such composers as Revueltas, Partch, and Nancarrow long before their music became fashionable. Grammy-nominated percussionist William Winant has performed with some of the most innovative and creative musicians of our time, including John Cage, Anthony Braxton, and Kronos Quartet.
