• Complex
• Cerebral
• Menacing

• Uncompromising
• Urgent
• Elaborate
• Intense
• Ambitious



FAR CORNER was formed in the Spring of 2003. Playing a kind of "chamber rock," this quartet of keyboards, cello, bass, and percussion blends contemporary classical chamber music with rock and a touch of jazz. One may hear the influences of composers like Stravinsky and Bartok as well as music from some of the great progressive rock bands of the 1970's. FAR CORNER's repertoire consists of composed works, completely improvised works, and everything in between. Traditional limitations of each instrument are stretched, often bluring genre roles. Cello may play in a "Heavy Metal" style or electric bass may play in a manner more commonly found in classical music. Great attention has been given to put each instrument on equal footing, making the music compositionally focused, yet still allowing each player their moments to shine. The goal of the composer is always to create "pure" musical works of interest without attempting to create music of a specific style such as progressive rock, fusion, or contemporary classical.

The ensemble consists of the internationally performed and award winning composer, Dan Maske ..boards, bass virtuoso William Kopecky , strings master Angela Schmidt ..o, and lord of all things percussion, Craig Walkner .

FAR CORNER's members utilize a combination of classical training plus years of performing experience in rock and jazz idioms all over the world.

     "Far Corner is more than just a band of highly skilled performers of detailed composition.  What seperates Far Corner from its progenitors is its apparent lack of ego.  Far Corner seems more about dedication to the writing, and to creating a vibe that says more by implication than by overt display. – All About Jazz

     "Keyboards, cello, bass and drums cooperate for instrumental "chamber rock", a synthesis of a heavier progressive style with acoustic elements like cello.... with the cello often following a perfectly-intoned tenth above, resulting in a slithery, silky undertow for the band....Mind-blowing.... fun to listen to..." - Keyboard

     "'Chamber rock' may not be the most commercial of genres, but it's the basis for one of the most exciting new groups in instrumental progressive music.  The Milwaukee quartet Far Corner, comprised of musicians with years of experience playing jazz and rock...make provacative and moody soundscapes that are oddly familiar yet uncomfortably distant.  ...Even listeners who aren't typically drawn to instrumental albums may be enlightened by this one." - Goldmine

"This is not only a very accomplished recording -- it's a very entertaining one." - All Music Guide

I hopped onto your page to get the URL to show others, then let the music run while I was composing an email. I stopped what I was doing to listen. As always, wonderful work.

Thanks for the connection.

Hope to catch the band live sometime in 2008. Those are some nice photos of Angela from the December date. The photographer obviously knew where to focus his lens! ;-)

Best wishes,
