The David Chesworth Ensemble's first release preempted the exotica revival of the 1990's.
Described as "a child of Igor Stravinsky and cartoon composer Carl Stalling!" Chesworth plays oblique homage to a vast array of music genres and sound sources. His ensemble of highly skilled musicians tackles anything from fiery contrapuntal duets to "incredibly strange" South Sea ambiences.
"The music that comprises EXOTICA SUITE is influenced by the lush, timbral music of Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and many others who in the 1950's and 60's composed imagined music of far-off lands. In the confines of the suburbs, the family stereogramme played their "exotic" fantasies of jungle rhythms, Hawaiian guitars and Martian boogie sounds."
