| “ | Love of Life Orchestra was created by Peter Gordon (sax, keyboards, composition) and David Van Tieghem[1], an avant-garde percussionist with ties to new music composer Steve Reich. Both have gone on to greater fame as elder statesmen of the downtown music scene in New York, but these early works stand as an important developmental chapter. | ” |
