Bing and Ruth Stretch Limits of "Classical" Music

The band called Bing & Ruth makes evocative, almost cinematic soundscapes, built around the sounds of acoustic instruments and tape delay. The mastermind behind the group is pianist and composer David Moore, whose music blends a kind of post-minimalist approach to the keyboard with the ambient textures of some of Brian Eno’s music. The band has an unusual lineup to go with their unusual name – there isn’t a Bing or a Ruth to be heard, but the five people who are in the group are here to play live for us.
