"Bang On a Can" consists of 6 members – a clarinettist, percussionist, electric guitarist, pianist, bassist and cellist. Imagine a fusion of classical and pop instruments making beautiful music together. Their music has very catchy rhythms and all the musicians really synchronized well together. The instruments just flowed together beautifully. They played a total of 6 songs and I loved the last 2 pieces – "Spells" and "Workers Union". The first song they played was entitled "Cheating, Lying, Stealing" which my friend remarked was suitable for the soundtrack of "Closer". Upon reflecting, I agree, since the theme of the song matched exactly the theme of the movie.
"Spells" reminded me of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible". How appropriate, isn't it? The dark theme of the Salem witch trials of the 17th century. "Workers Union" was a very intense piece. There was a part where the pianist was banging on the piano with her elbows instead of running her fingers over it. I salute her technique and skill! There was a part where the song made me feel like going on strike!
Thanks a lot, friend, for recommending this show. I really enjoyed myself. It is a very good alternative musical experience which I will never forget.
