Unimagined: Preparations for the Unknown Empire on CD

After graduating from Yale University and earning an MFA from the Iowa Writer's Workshop, Hugh Levick set off for Paris to write a novel. Eventually, he returned to his musical beginnings and the saxophone, studying and playing with Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy and the Chicago Art Ensemble. Later, he studied classical composition at Julliard with Stanley Wolfe and David Diamond, and privately with John Cage and Vinko Globokar. This recording features three of Levick's works for string quartet, played by the Quatuor Diotima.
