Golden Arm Trio
Cult of Color
Shamrock Record Co.
Composer-producer Graham Reynolds creates dynamic sound projects by blending experimental jazz, big band, and found sound into traditional classical structures. In the score for the ballet, Cult of Color: Call to Color, Reynolds has created a unique performance space, adding aboriginal rhythms and a strong thematic narrative to his signature eclectic style.
The ballet Cult of Color: Call to Color was developed with choreographer Stephen Mills and visual artist Trenton Doyle Hancock. Reynolds' score to this visual tapestry narrates the mythological saga of a world as it shifts from black & white to color. Like any good Creation story, Cult of Color contains themes of conflict and struggle, sacrifice and triumph. It is gorgeous and sensuous.
The Golden Arm Trio is Reynolds' musical collective, an ensemble gathered to give life to Reynolds' musical vision. From film soundtracks to crime jazz, punk, and musicals, Reynolds plays with sound like Imelda Marcos played with shoes. The ballet, Cult of Color: Call to Color, sold out its initial two-week performance run at the Austin Ventures Theatre, but the CD lasts forever. Add some color to your life.
