About the Artist
We have been together for about 3 years, based out of Las Vegas. Considering how difficult it is for original acts to receive support in this city we have actually accomplished quite a bit. We’ve played nearly every venue in town including headlining the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel. We received national radio play, independently released our first E.P. early last year, and have built a strong and dedicated following in a city where holding peoples interest is not an easy task. We have also caught the attention of numerous record labels, management companies and entertainment lawyers etc., as a result of our radio efforts with the E.P.

Our sound is basically just our version of Rock ’n Roll. All members have equal input and our influences are all over the road. Ranging from Modest Mouse, Portishead, and Faith No More to Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Lionel Ritchie. We do however try to keep things cohesive by blending in our influences with subtlety to add texture and uniqueness. We don’t believe in jumping on the bandwagon of the latest trends, and we have no desire to get stuck in one style becoming dated or stale. Finally, we are fully prepared to take the long road and attack the music world without major label support however; we also understand the benefits of experienced and well-connected industry personnel.

Album Description

BCM International is a consortium of like-minded composers who create original works for symphonic winds. We are not a corporate entity, nor a publishing house. Our goal is to create music for the wind ensemble medium not bound by traditional thought or idiomatic cliché.

I'm only a high school band student, so my knowledge of composers is somewhat limited. However, whenever my band director introduced Chaos Theory for our Marching performace my sophomore year, and my Senior year [this year] Equus by Whitacre [which sadly is not on this recording], I was AMAZED by these composers. The creativity, the personality, the EVERYTHING about the music of these writers is amazing - I don't know what you would like, but I liked this kind of random creativity, it's a good change.

5 out of 5 stars Band Music of the 21st century.......2004-05-11

Do you like the classic band sound? Do you play Sousa marches on your CD player 24 hours a day? Can't get enough of those arrangements of movie music and orchestral standards? If this is the case then this is NOT the album for you. These 4 composers make it a point not to do anything of that sort. Their stated goal is "to create music for the wind ensemble medium not bound by traditional thought or idiomatic cliché" and, if this is truly the case, then I think they (and the superb UNLV Wind Orchestra) have suceeded in creating something that every kind of music fan will find appealing.

If you know Eric Whitacre's choral works, then you will be pleasantly surprised and deeply moved by his wind arrangement of 'Cloudburst.' You'll also laugh until you cry during 'Godzilla Eats Las Vegas' in proof positive that Whitacre (and the rest of BCM) have a wicked sense of humor.

Jonathan Newman's 'Uncle Sid' and 'OK Feel Good' are 2 other standouts for humor. The first is a twisted version of 'Hava Nagila' and if the second one doesn't bring a smile to your face at a certain point towards the end, then you have no soul.

Steven Bryant gets a bit more contemplative during his beautiful 'the logic of all my dreams.' He gets so much "lushness" (if that's a word) into the orchestration that you'll swear you hear strings.

At first glance, James Bonney doesn't strike one as a stereotypical composer in the classical sense. But he proves it nonetheless with his innovative 'Chaos Theory.' Who would ever think of putting a solo electric guitar with an ensemble known for 'Stars and Stripes Forever'? A member of BCM International...that's who!

        Such an incredible disc.

        Such talented musicians.

        F popular radio, buy this disc today! (although they could rule radio if someone gave them a chance)

        5 out of 5 stars Different is good.......2004-09-29

        Have not heard anything quite like STS before. Kinda tired of the copycat music out there anyways. Hole in the Photograph is my fav on this CD but there are others taking a close 2nd. See for yourself. Take a car ride where you have to listen to it three times in a row and you'll be hooked too.

          Fine instruments played with warmth and length of breath to help you find a calm place, another, more centered, place for meditation, yoga, quiet conversation by the fire or out on the porch. Breath ~Welcome Silence
