"This music is open, unhurried, brutally lyrical, quiet, private and tonal as it is raucous, aggressively impolite and obsessively meticulous in making the simple relations between tones and durations an unending adventure of personal wonder. My goal, as always, was to reduce the musical elements to their ultimate essences, to repudiate and embrace dualism, and to emulate, even in permanent notation, the feel of spontaneous music-making." – Alvin Curran. Composer Alvin Curran was chosen as one of The Wire magazine's top ten composers for 2005 in recognition of Inner Cities. This September the Tate Modern in conjunction with the London Symphony Orchestra presents his Maritime Rites concert-installation on the Thames River. For more information please visit: www.alvincurran.com Eve Egoyan has a long-standing creative relationship with Curran. His monumental For Cornelius ignited Eve's interest in contemporary piano music and she has performed most of his works for solo piano. Inner Cities no. 8 was written for Eve who performed its premiere at the Other Minds Festival, San Francisco. Eve will be touring Inner Cities to Vancouver and New York.
