Michael J. Baker Unfinished business, 1984 Commissioned by: Dancemakers “Baker’s music, solemn, violently percussive, accentuates the fervor and the turmoil that rise from unfinished business. Superb.” Aline Gélinas, La Presse, March 22, 1986 “Commissioned by Dancemakers as the score for a collaborative work with choreographer James Kudelka, unfinished business was originally performed on a Fairlight CMI. It was later revised for the Arraymusic ensemble, and includes 3 synthesizers, 2 percussion (Octa-pads), bass clarinet, and electric bass. It is dedicated to Kudelka and to Peggy Baker. ”
