​Ghost Layers: TAK plays MILLER (2020)
New Focus Recordings


"Collectively [TAK Ensemble] tackles this advanced and difficult-to-play music with ease, with dash and even a heroically dynamic demeanor. TAK happily specialize in the Contemporary of yesterday and today through commissions, collaborations and dedicated New Music concertizing. A listen or two will no doubt convince you that they are near-ideal proponents of the music at hand, stars in today's Modern firmament."
