MC Maguire is a modern composer, working in a wide variety of styles that includes concertos, dance works, soundtracks, and even pop music. His projects include a recent soundtrack for Nick Vitis’ award winning film “Polychroma,” music for the Comedy Network’s Skullduggery series, commissions for works including his Piano Concerto, which was performed at Lincoln Center in New York City.
In the early nineties the Village Voice proclaimed him ‘the most irritating and spellbinding composer since Philip Glass’s Einstein on the Beach.” The latter is an apt comparison, as Maguire tends to work in a melange of styles that blends and mashes compositional elements in coherent but bewildering ways.
“A Short History of Lounge” started as a dance commission for the choreographer Cornelius Fischer-Credo, and was originally written in 2001. This is an adaptation of that work, expanded into what Maguire describes as a ‘faux-concerto’ for piano and CPU. As he explains, the structure of the work is a quasi-rondo sonata, a large scale instrumental work that returns to a mutated Rumba theme where each movement is initiated with what Maguire describes as a Beethovenesque repeated note motif. He also explains that the title is a reference to “A Brief History of the Universe,” only applied to the mundane, mathematical profusion of real time.
