Nova Anthony Glise / Michael Fuson electric/classical guitar ensemble The Nova Project® emerged from a series of pieces called "The Viennese Sketches" that Anthony composed while living in Vienna, Austria. They were first premiered in Vienna at Der Tunnel ("The Tunnel") which is an alternative music center in that city. The five original movements are for classical guitar and electric guitar or any improvising melody instrument. Because of the classical/rock "cross-over" of this work, when Anthony decided to record these pieces (with several other movements composed specifically for this CD), he asked his long-time friend, noted rock guitarist, Michael Fuson. With Michael's commitment to the project, the CD is currently underway and will be released on the French label Éclipse in early 2002. Basic tracks are nearly finished and the mastertape is being shipped to Europe to include improvisational solos by nearly a dozen of the most recognized names on the international rock/jazz scene. A tour is being slated for 2002 throughout Northern and Western Europe (France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy and Poland) to promote the CD. Negotiation is underway for a similar US tour. We're extremely excited about the development of this new CD as these two brilliant artists continue to work together and will keep you posted as it progresses! Anthony Glise Bio A
1991 Pulitzer Prize Nominee for composition, Anthony has been awarded
diplomas and performed at such festivals as 'Ville Sable', 'Festival-Hautecombe'
(France), and the 'Nemzetlozi Gitarfesztival' (Hungary). In addition
to traditional classical repertoire, concerts often include 19th
Century works performed in a priceless 1828 Staufer Viennese guitar.
Anthony's
commitment to the art has led to many diversified activities. His
writings have been published extensively in 'The Soundboard' (U.S.),
'Guitar International' (England) and 'Gitarre und Laute' (Germany).
He has acted as an Artist-in Residence and Touring Artist for a
number of U.S. state arts councils and similar European programs.
He is also the editor of the internationally-acclaimed series of
guitar music, 'The Anthony Glise Editions', published by the Willis
Music Company and 'The Anthony Glise Urtext Edtions' by Mel Bay
Publications. An
active composer, Anthony's original compositions have been premiered
in such cities as New York, Chicago, Rome, Vienna, Lille (France)
and Esztergom (Hungary). His
recordings include traditional works (solo, chamber, orchestral
and ballet) as well as original compositions for such labels as
'Eclipse' (France), 'Young Recording Artists' (USA) and 'Dorian
Recordings' (USA). His first album, 'Overview', was chosen as one
of the year's "Top 5 Classical Releases" by 'Vienna Life Magazine'.
Anthony currently lectures at the 'Academy for the Study of 19th Century Music' (Italy), and when not on tour, he lives and teaches in the Flandres region of Northern France. Anthony's website is located at: www.anthonyglise.com |
