Tyondai Braxton - Telekinesis (Album Trailer)

This first studio recording of Tyondai Braxton's 'Telekinesis'—an eighty-seven-piece work for electric guitars, orchestra, choir, and electronics—features the Metropolis Ensemble conducted by Andrew Cyr, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus conducted by Dianne Berkun Menaker, and chamber choir The Crossing conducted by Donald Nally performing what the Guardian calls "a superpower-themed symphony … a titanic composition." Braxton cites the Japanese manga classic Akira as a thematic guide, with its story of a young boy's discovery of his telekinetic powers and his inability to control it, leading to his own destruction.

Central Market has been my favorite album since I first heard it in 2009. Can't wait for this new Ty Braxton LP — and congrats on putting it out with Nonesuch!

I have listened to Battles for a decade, and have been getting into free improvisation recently and hearing about John Zorn, Derek Bailey, and Anthony Braxton, etc. Today I wanted to play some "cardio" drums to Atlas and wondered what happened to their original vocalist, and in the search saw the connection. It all circles back around. I will buy Tyondai's new album. This trailer is fantastic both visually and sonically.

Good music is abound the rend.
