Composer Douglas J. Cuomo’s Seven Limbs, written for and featuring Nels Cline and the Aizuri Quartet on Sunnyside Records is a ritual in seven movements, based on the Seven Limbs – a fundamental Tibetan Buddhist practice of purification.
The spiritual grounding of the music is in the tradition of John Coltrane, Arvo Pärt, and John Tavener. Doug talks about the music and his collaborative experience with host Austin Williams.
