Ekmeles is a vocal ensemble dedicated to the performance of new and rarely-heard works, and gems of the historical avant garde. New York is home to a vibrant instrumental New Music scene, with a relative paucity of vocal music. Ekmeles was founded to fill the gap by presenting new a cappella repertoire for solo voices, and by collaborating with these instrumental ensembles. Director Jeffrey Gavett brings a hybrid vision to the group: he is an accomplished ensemble singer and performer of new works, and holds degrees from Westminster Choir College and Manhattan School of Music's Contemporary Performance Program. He has assembled a virtuoso group of colleagues who bring their own diverse backgrounds to bear on the unique challenges of this essential and neglected repertoire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Motorman Sextet~Part I \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Motorman Sextet~Part II \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Motorman Sextet~Part III \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Motorman Sextet~Part IV \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Motorman Sextet~Part V \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Motorman Sextet~Part VI \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Motorman Sextet~Part VII \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Motorman Sextet~Part VIII \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Motorman Sextet~Part IX \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Three Scenes From Sleep~Scene 4: Abyss \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Three Scenes From Sleep~Scene 7: Transparency \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Three Scenes From Sleep~Scene 10: The Fourth Letter \u003cbr\u003e1.13 End Words~I.
