Will Redman ‘98 grew up in Arbutus and has been a familiar presence in Baltimore’s music scene off and on since the mid-’90s, early on as the drummer for absurdist indie-rock outfit International Soundscape Internationale and most recently as half of the free-jazz duo Microkingdom. But few have had the chance to hear the compositions to which he has devoted much of his adult life. That’s about to change: On May 2, the Windup Space hosts a performance by the Compositions, a rotating-membership chamber group convened by Redman to perform his own music. "I’ve always been uncomfortable about saying, ‘Hey, I’ve got this piece,’" he said. Putting together a performance of his own music "was a new year’s resolution, and the first three people I asked were wildly enthusiastic. It’s been astoundingly nice."
The article, “Unsettling the Score,” ran in Baltimore City Paper on April 28.
