"This self-titled debut recording by a group of young mavericks of the percussion world features the recording premieres of ground-breaking works by David Lang and Evan Ziporyn. Ziporyn's Balinese gamelan-influenced Melody Competition intermixes a lush soundscape with a driving competition between the players. Langs 'so-called laws of nature' (written for So Percussion) is simultaneously meditative and climactic. The group presents these works using traditional percussion instruments found in classical, rock, and world music combined with unique homemade instruments ranging from giant pipes to flower pots."

"Four Tet and Tortoise meet Aphex Twin and Brian Eno in So Percussion's breakout indie-electronica project, Amid the Noise. Amid the Noise pushes So Percussion into the limelight as a one-of-a-kind band of four drummers. Breathtaking soundscapes and quietly surging beats are created live with a battery of percussion instruments from across the world, treated with minimalist electronic production from in-house producer Lawson White (Alarm Will Sound: Acoustica). A bonus DVD contains films of Jenise Treuting featuring beautiful Japanese street scenes set to music. Critics raved about So Percussion's first two discs. Their debut was dubbed a 'must-hear' by Billboard, and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer remarked about their follow-up, 'Rarely does Western percussion sound so varied.'"
