- Pierrot Lunaire (first cycle) (1912)

Adam de la Cour - Voice
Mark Knoop - Piano





MICHAEL FINNISSY
- Walrus (2010)

Michael Finnissy's Walrus portrays this fat, smelly, noisy mammal as it disrupts a North Sea costal town fair.

JOHN CAGE - Five(one) (1988)

One of Cage's earliest number pieces written for five voices or instruments or voices and instruments. Performed by regular Klangers.



MATTHEW SHLOMOWITZ -Letter Piece No.1(2007)

Mark Knoop - Performer
Matthew Shlomowitz - Sampler

Shlomowitz's Letter Pieces combine physical actions, music and text. The performers create the material themselves, but the structure of each piece is determined. The result has been described as the "formalistic paterrning of the everyday world" and "arty fart charades". This realisation features Mark Knoop as superhero.
