GUITARIST ALEXANDER TURNQUIST CELEBRATES NEW RECORDING at HELSINKI HUDSON
(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Hudson-based composer-guitarist Alexander Turnquist celebrates the release of his new recording, “Flying Fantasy,” with a concert at Club Helsinki Hudson on Sunday, June 15, at 8pm. Turnquist’s unique style of composition and performance connects the dots between players like Alex De Grassi and Kaki King, minimalist composers like Philip Glass and Steve Reich, and fellow innovators like Rhys Chatham and Sonic Youth. Turnquist’s compositions are both pastoral – reflecting his surroundings in the Hudson Valley – as well as urban and contemporary. He has one foot in the classical avant-garde, reminding listeners of Arvo Part and Henryk Gorecki, and another in progressive folk, amenable to fans of Leo Kottke or John Fahey. The end result is that in his hands, the guitar is utterly reinvented as an expressive, orchestral instrument.
