PRESS RELEASE:
NEWS FROM YUCATAN.
NEW JASUN MARTZ CD TO BE RELEASED IN 2011 entitled DISINTEGRATION
Jasun Martz, the avant garde composer and musician was in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico recording a new album entitled "Disintegration" in the shadows of Mayan ruins. Martz, who lives in New York is probably best known for his contemporary classical orchestral symphonies including The Pillory that featured Frank Zappa players Eddie Jobson, Ruth Underwood and 40 other musicians.
Martz's most recent CD, The Pillory/The Battle, which featured the 115 member Intercontinental Philharmonic Orchestra, was composed while he trekked the world's tallest active volcano, Cotopaxi, in Ecuador South
America.
"I've long been interested in ancient Mayan civilization and it is really playing a pivotal role in my composing and recording this new symphony" Martz said.
Mr. Martz has an exceptionally diverse musical background. He recorded with Michael Jackson, toured with Frank Zappa, helped arrange the Starship hit, "We Built this City" and has had several solo CDs released.
Disintegration will again be performed by the Intercontinental Philharmonic Orchestra and is slated to be released sometime in late 2011.
Martz will also produce the CD.
