Jaime Reis: Fluxus

“All works of this album are part of my Fluxus cycle, which is inspired by physical phenomena associated with fluid mechanics. Space is not a mere concept: It is an experienced reality where frames, forces and fluxes interplay in a creative dynamic – which I strive to convey in my music”, says Portuguese composer Jaime Reis about this recording. Reis’ music is informed by both his keen interest in cutting-edge research in the natural sciences, and his abiding attention to Asian musical – and indeed spiritual – traditions. Here is a portrait album of a composer to watch!
