Anthony Pateras is a composer/performer based in Melbourne who is as comfortable writing for full orchestra as he is performing in intimate improvisational groupings. Pateras represents the best in the new generation of musicians combining the spontaneity of improvisation with the formal logic of composition and for his second Tzadik CD he has chosen an eclectic mix of ensemble pieces that blend instrumental virtuosity and electro acoustic sonorities in startling new ways. Sound, texture and surprise from this marvelous new voice from Australia.
