Sometimes out of time, sometimes disorientating and hectic, Marc Mellits' music skillfully mixes sleek and diaphanous textures with wild sections. In the wake of the American minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass, the energy of his works reminds us of rock music. Indeed, his three string quartets take us on board in an adventurous sonic journey: Tapas, Prometheus and Waniyetu are finally recorded together in a world premiere on Evidence Classics thanks to the Debussy Quartet, faithful consort of Marc Mellits.
