Peter Broderick and French 12-piece group Ensemble 0 present Give It to the Sky: Arthur Russell's Tower of Meaning Expanded, a complete re-recording of Arthur Russell's epic minimalist orchestral composition originally released in 1983. Released on the Erased Tapes label, this ambitious project breathes new life into one of the most revered works in American minimalist classical music, delivered with the intimacy and warmth of a live ensemble performance recorded in a small theatre in the Southwest of France.
What makes this release truly remarkable is its scope — beyond faithfully re-recording Russell's original composition, Broderick and Ensemble 0 have restored and re-recorded previously unreleased tracks by Russell, weaving them into an expansive 80-minute reanimation. The result is a meticulous and gorgeous rendering that honors Russell's visionary work while offering something genuinely new, recorded live as a group with minimal overdubs to preserve the organic, communal spirit of the performance.
