Hypercube – The Force For Good
November 4th, 2025
The Force For Good is a short 28-minute EP containing two pieces performed by the chamber ensemble Hypercube. Brandishing saxophone, guitar, piano, and percussion, the group has commissioned and premiered over 100 new works since its formation in 2014. The 10-minute “Hout” (1991) by the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen (1939–2021) sounds quirky, hyper and sometimes even a lil’ spooky, what with its frantic start-stop-start rhythm that implies a team of methed-up aunts rushing to build an ant farm in Antarctica. “The piece embodies a unique balance of rigorous structure and spontaneous energy, evoking influences from jazz, Bach Inventions, Stravinsky, and Minimalism.”
