About Me |
|
| CANTALOUPE MUSIC is a record label which was created in March 2001 by the three founders of New York’s legendary Bang on a Can Festival: composers Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, and Bang on a Can Managing Director Kenny Savelson. Cantaloupe Music provides a home for music that slips between the cracks. Through Cantaloupe, Bang on a Can forges ahead in its mission to spread the gospel of risk-taking music. In its four year history, Cantaloupe has repeatedly received “Top 10 of the Year” accolades from such publications as The New York Times , Newsday, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Boston Herald, San Jose Mercury News, Tucson Citizen, The Guardian (UK), Gramophone, Billboard, Mojo, The Wire, Stereophile, The New Yorker, and Time Out NY. Its releases have been featured on CNN, NPR, BBC, and other major radio outlets across the country. Dedicated to the work of composers across the entire aesthetic spectrum, Bang on a Can has created a home for musical innovators, misfits and pioneers. Founded in 1987 by Gordon, Lang and Wolfe, Bang on a Can has grown from a one-day festival to a multi-faceted organization. Their decision to launch Cantaloupe Music represented the culmination of 15 years of ground-breaking concerts and a decade of successful recording projects on multiple major record labels. | |
