Derrick Skye: "Prisms, Cycles, and Leaps" w/ Derrick Skye

Derrick Skye is one of the most creative, innovative, and
brilliant composers of our time. His orchestral work, Prisms,
Cycles, and Leaps is a musical thrill ride spanning influences
from literally all over the world, from West African Music,
Balkan Folk Music, Hindustani Classical Music, all the way to
Appalachan Folk harmonies. I had the great pleasure of talking my
way through this piece with Derrick, exploring the
mind-bogglingly complex rhythmic patterns, the melodic lines that
blend cultures and harmonies, and the infectious joy of this
unique piece. If you're not familiar wiith Derrick's music, trust
me, take the time to get to know him and his music in this
interview/analysis - you won't regret it!
