Telekinesis

Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 release. Tyondai Braxton releases Telekinesis - an eighty-seven-piece work for electric guitars, orchestra, choir, and electronics. Featuring 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, Telekinesis is the first studio recording of the work. Telekinesis is the result of a co-commission by the Southbank Centre London and Musica Nova, Helsinki Festival. The world premiere took place on April 18, 2018, at Queen Elizabeth Hall with the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC Singers, followed by a performance at Helsinki Festival by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. André de Ridder conducted both performances. Braxton calls Telekinesis "the latest and largest example of intersections between my electronic music and notated music, both sonically and philosophically."
