Bio
..Cats in the Kitchen.. is an alternative classical work in three movements: .. .. 1 - Eggs & Toast ..2 - O Sole Meow ..3 - Where's Your Mouse, McGee? ......Cats in the Kitchen.. was composed by ..Phillip Bimstein.. in 2007. It is scored for flute, oboe, meows, purrs, cracked eggs, sliced onions, buttered toast, sizzling skillets, spoons, knives, pepper grinder, toaster oven, pots, pans, draining dishwater, and pretty much everything else in the kitchen "sync.” .. ..The sound score also features feline duets and trios, cat food crunches, waterdrums, and Bimstein's girlfriend Charlotte Bell speaking to her beloved cat, Fiona McGee, who sadly passed on shortly after this piece was composed. The flute and oboe playfully dance and weave with the sounds and each other, sometimes in imitation or dialogue with the cats, and at other times cooking up their own fanciful filigree. .. ....Cats in the Kitchen.. was commissioned for ..Michele Fiala.. and ..Heidi Pintner.. (see bios at left) by Western Kentucky University, through its Provost’s Initiatives for Excellence Fund and its Potter College of Arts and Letters. It was recorded by Pintner and Fiala and released in 2008 on Michele Fiala's MSR Classics CD as MS1217 - .."The Light Wraps You: New Music for Oboe.".. .. ..• To order the CD or get more info please ..CLICK HERE.. .. ..Alternative classical composer ..Phillip Bimstein.. lives in Salt Lake City and Springdale, Utah, where he also served two terms as mayor. A recipient of grants and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet The Composer, American Composers Forum and Austria's Prix Ars Electronica, Bimstein's music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, the Bang on a Can Festival, the Aspen Music Festival and London's Royal Opera House. .. ..• To visit Phillip Bimstein's website ..CLICK HERE.. ..• To hear more of Bimstein's compositions at his MySpace page ..CLICK HERE.. ..• For Bimstein's latest ..Starkland..
