Man Forever & So Percussi
Ryonen
Man Forever is an exploratory percussion project helmed by John Colpitts (aka Kid Millions), one of New York's most
versatile and critically lauded collaborators and a founding member of Oneida.
Since its inception in 2010, Man Forever has hosted an impressive list of guest performers, but few have been as
specially qualified to perform Colpitts' technically challenging meditative workouts as So Percussion, the United
States' premiere contemporary percussion ensemble. So Percussion have commissioned and premiered new compositions by
Steve Reich and their interpretations of John Cage have revolutionized the legendary composer's cannon. They have
collaborated with Matmos, Dan Deacon, Medeski Martin & Wood, Glenn Kotche (Wilco) and The Dirty Projectors, as well as
composers Steve Reich, Arvo Pa"rt, Fred Frith, David Lang (Bang On A Can) and Paul Lansky. Following a collaborative
performance at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York in June of 2013, So Percussion and Colpitts entered the studio
together to record yonen', two pieces that combine the former's precision and ingenuity with the latter's restless punk
spirit. While previous Man Forever records were inspired by blissful, overwhelming confusion, yonen' derives its power
from its clarity and immediacy.
