Du Yun’s collaboration with the International Contemporary Ensemble traces back to the group’s formation at Oberlin Conservatory and the composer’s budding early years. Dinosaur Scar captures the synergy that can only come as a result of musicians who have absorbed a composer’s language over many years, and a composer writing specifically with specific performers in mind.
