wild Up

wild Up is a modern music collective and chamber orchestra based in Los Angeles, led by conductor Christopher Rountree. The group makes concerts, records and long-running projects that sit somewhere between new music, theatre and performance, including a multi-year anthology of the music of Julius Eastman.

In summer 2014, wild Up travelled to Reykjavík with the composer and singer Jodie Landau, a long-standing member of the group, to collaborate on a concert and recording with Graduale Nobili, the Icelandic choir that recorded and toured with Björk for her Biophilia project. The sessions at Greenhouse Studios with Valgeir Sigurðsson became you of all things (2015), with Rountree conducting.
