Gallery: 100 Disciplines

As part of the Red Bull Music Academy Festival New York 2015, Kid Millions asked listeners to check all of their preconceived notions of what drums can sound like at the door.

The acclaimed drummer brought a troupe of percussionists to Brooklyn Museum’s magnificent Beaux-Arts Court for 100 Disciplines, a composition that generates a large part of its sound through the feedback, drones and overtones of its many percussion instruments. Says Millions, 100 Disciplines serves as “a programmatic memory map of my last 20 years in New York City. The title refers to the host of methods and tactics one might draw upon to navigate this city as a creative artist.”

The exuberant Italian bachata-influenced electronic duo Niños du Brasil provided additional support.
