Seattle's composer Dan Joseph (1966), who studied composition in California with Pauline Oliveros and Alvin Curran and moved to New York in 2001, is a late minimalist whose music absorbs influences from folk music from around the world in the vein of the Penguin Cafè Orchestra.

Archaea (Mutablemusic, 2006) collects three chamber pieces performed by a neo-baroque ensemble comprised of violinist Tom Chiu, cellist Loren Dempster, Marija Ilic on harpsichord, Dan Joseph on hammered dulcimer, clarinetist Michael Lowenstern and percussionist Danny Tunick: the geometric, quasi-dissonant 16-minute Archaea Quartet (2001), the menacing, mutating, fanfare-like, Terry Riley-ian 17-minute Lotus Quintet (2002), and the exuberant, propulsive, Michael Nyman-esque, 19-minute Percussion and Strings (2004), that ends in a a frenzied gypsy-like crescendo.
