David Cossin
curator and percussionist himself, a cutting-edge artist emerging out of the downtown New York scene having recorded and performed internationally with Bang on a Can All-Stars, Steve Reich and Musicians, Philip Glass, Yo-Yo Ma, Meredith Monk, Tan Dun, Cecil Taylor, Don Byron, Orette Coleman, Talujon Percussion Quartet, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Bo Didley, among others. Collaborations with theater project list Mabou Mines, and Peter Sellars, among others. David Cossin was featured as the percussion soloist in Tan Dun’s Grammy and Oscar winning score to Ang Lee’s film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A specialist in new and experimental music, comfortable with western and eastern traditions, Cossin managed to stretch the boundaries of percussion performance by incorporating new media across a broad spectrum of musical forms. Through composition, music productions, sound and instrument design, Cossin explores sound in its relationship with space, time, chaos and the perceivers’ involvement, through unique sonic installations and curatorial projects. |
