Composer and electric guitarist John King has received commissions for ballets and operas, but his work is far from traditional. His pieces mix composition with improvisation and live electronics. The result is his own form of off-kilter modern classical music.
Download "Astral Epitaphs," which King will play at Roulette Friday night. He'll also premiere his new work “Kosmos.” You can also watch a video excerpt of Kohn King's opera "Dice Thrown" below.
