EVIYAN is a new acoustic trio ensemble co-founded by famous Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova,
who currently lives in the USA, guitarist and composer Gyan Riley, whose father is the the minimalistic
composer and performer Terry Riley, and bass-clarinetist, composer and producer Evan Ziporyn, who
also co-founded Bang On a Can ensemble and collaborated with Phil Glass, Brian Eno, Paul Simon and
many more notable artists. Their first studio album called NAYIVE is made of their own acoustic
compositions and improvisations. The album is notable for very high compositional as well as performing
skills of all three musicians – the pieces are very sophisticated yet very fresh, rooted in the folk as well as
minimalistic and classical traditions. The natural sounds of classical guitar, bass clarinet and Iva Bittova’s
original voice melt together naturally to paint a very colorful image.
