about

StartAgain

The ensemble is a rhizome. Each member is a musical note, each psyche a musical phrase, twisting, warping, ricocheting together with mutable, multiple gravitational [gestalts] pulls, a polyphonic astroid field of thoughts and sounds. The musical piece is the ensemble, the integration of individual consciousnesses (so public already) momentarily gestating malleable labyrinths, myriad entrances along the wall of the guitar string, innumerable exits sparking off the bow’s momentum. Improvisation is the universal life essence, (Buddha-essence) and the succession of momental opportunities to begin/finish anew(startagain) is an easy, bubbling, epidermis of silence; when the strings of the bodies are tuned and in synchronic orbit together, decisions and sounds are fearlessly intoned and always fall where they should, which is where they will.

These improvisations were recorded on November 2-4, 2013 at "The Loom" in Bushwick
