NMC Recordings is a charitable company established by the Holst Foundation for recording contemporary music, receiving funding from Arts Council England and the Britten-Pears Foundation.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Foskett's mature music avoids the neatness often found in new music, instead using iron control of technique to underpin a real sense of fantasy.
Album & Artwork
The cover artwork was created by Gilad Visotsky, a student from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, as part of a competition for NMC's Debut Discs series.
Recording & Production
This album is part of NMC's Debut Discs series, which supports emerging composers and is funded by various trusts, foundations, and individuals.
Composer Biography
Ben Foskett, the composer, studied with Edwin Roxburgh and Simon Bainbridge at the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, respectively.
Album & Artwork
The album's cover art, featuring a dinosaur crossing the road, is a playful take on a classic joke, aiming to present contemporary classical music in a fresh way.
