Roland Vazquez explores a series of historical and philosophical ideas through the medium of music on The Visitor (RVCD, 2010). In this interview, Vazquez talks about his former and current large ensembles; the programmatic elements underlying the compositions; and why he decided to do something — or rather not do something — for the first time on this album.

Another fine interview with an under-appreciated composer and musician.
“The Visitor” is a crackling good recording and your questions brought many involved and informative answers.
Good work Jason!
Thanks so much, Richard. Roland made it easy!
