experiment:

 

outcomes of exploration remain open

OR

HOW can the multidimensional
dynamics of polyrhythm
shape & coordinate
intersecting
melodies?

HOW can song language more deeply incorporate drum language?

What kind of compositional interfaces could allow musicians to enter & exit at will?

ALSO

HOW could an ensemble be modularly organized so that no single player has to be there every time?

WHAT kind of interface could be
simple enough
to assimilate
& work with
yet still yield
open ended
variation?

WHAT are some other ways to synthesize
musicians’ independent narratives with
a well coordinated composite sound?

HOW could instrumental tone color — timbre — become more central to ensemble improvisation?

HOW many different ways can the flow of musical information be channeled & redirected during performance?

HOW could a music be organized so that it could travel fairly easily from
place
to
place
&
group
to
group
