I CARE IF YOU LISTEN: “Delightfully Clamorous:” yMusic’s Ecstatic Science (New Amsterdam)
BY JULIA KUHLMAN
“Ecstatic Science shows yMusic entering the new decade with eyes open to its new directions, though firmly grounded in an ensemble identity. Listening to the album in sequence can even suggest a narrative: a big, banging, and delightfully clamorous yMusic contracts to an intrepid and malleable yMusic…With their veteran status and pieces like Wiancko’s and Smith’s to guide future commissioned composers, yMusic promises to grow into 2020 and beyond in unexpected and surprising ways.”
