Symphony 5

"Elegantly crafted, intricately counterpointed and interlocking music, with no dilution of Gordon's seductive blend of experimental outlook and dancefloor appeal" - The Wire "A striking and elaborate statement" - Red Bull Music Academy "The ensemble shapes a stream of ideas that gives the impression of the unconventional, but comes off as almost logical as they serve up one unexpected turn after the other. Music as fun as it is intelligent" - Bird Is The Worm "A diligently crafted construction, yet one loaded with effusive spontaneity. It seems to distil the best of two worlds; the kind of abandon that informed Gordon’s forays into the New York Downtown scene of the late 70s and 80s and his collaborations with Arthur Russell, and the kind of forethought and exactitude that have made his works since such a different prospect in the more erudite but often stuffy world of composition." - The Ransom Note "A true musical pioneer expands boundaries. Like Frank Zappa or Sun Ra, Gordon adopts an experimental approach to orchestrating. The music is compelling and with each additional play, something new can be heard" - Audiophile Audition Performed by Love Of Life Orchestra and recorded at Roulette, Brooklyn, NY, Symphony 5 is the first new Peter Gordon album in two decades. 40 minutes in duration, artwork & handwriting by Kit Fitzgerald.
