Drumming Up Trouble finds pioneering composer Alvin Curran fusing the boundaries of electronic, hip-hop, soul, and funk in a uniquely personal showcase. Recorded in his Rome home studio between 2018 and 2021, Curran’s fervent sound collage spins together madcap rhythms, improvisational flourishes, and sample-driven experimentation, delivering a listening experience as wild as it is unpredictable.
This album offers a fascinating bridge between eras, with Side B featuring an extended work originally composed in the early 1980s for the Yoshiko Chuma Dance Company and reimagined in 2021. Curran manipulates synths, piano, and drum machines into frenzied clusters and hypnotic grooves, embracing both analog warmth and digital intensity—a must-hear for adventurous listeners and fans of genre-bending sonic innovation.
