THE HARD EIGHT

Traveling With Electronics : The Hard Eight

 

.....new year.....new music 

 

 

I am going to jump right in this month with eight new recordings, from two recent concerts in November & December, which wrapped up my adventures for 2018.

 

    THE FLUX CONDUCTION - The FluxCrew Live at the Pine Street Church  

  

The Flux Crew is a sixteen piece electro-acoustic chamber ensemble that engages in real-time collaborative composition. The ensemble is made up of outstanding musicians, from diverse musical backgrounds, who are adept at Conduction.

Conduction® : The practice of conveying and interpreting a lexicon of directives to construct sonic arrangement or composition; a structure-content exchange between conductor / instrumentalist that provides immediate possibilities to alter or initiate harmony, melody, rhythm, tempo, progression, articulation, phrasing or form by manipulating pitch, dynamics, timbre, duration, silence, & organization in real-time”. 

The Musicians are responsible for providing content. The Conductor is responsible for providing structure. Musical form reveals itself to everyone (conductor, musicians, listeners) as it unfolds in the moment. We've been exploring every month for 3 years.

Growing up as a trombone player I was captivated by 3 amazing trumpet players and as the years went on I've had the good fortune to record with some amazing players.

In 2018 I had the great pleasure to play two concerts with Ron Miles, through my collaboration with guitarist Farrell Lowe, my musical cousin from another planet. 

       

Farrell played in Ron's "Electric Band" 1992-2001 and is on MY CRUEL HEART
