Joe Morris Ensemble: Text Messaging

Thu 06 Oct, 2005, 8pm
The Silo

A performance of improvised music conducted with the use of graphic scores. The scores are maps containing cells with written word directions/suggestions taken from my glossary of terms that I use to describe subtle, and not-so-subtle approaches to sound, rhythm, dynamics, form, groupings and thematic material. The result will rely on the unique talents of this assemblage of fine musicians.

Joe Morris (guitar, mandolin), Daniel Levin (cello), Michael Evans (percussion), Daniel Blacksberg (trombone), Michael Winograd (alto saxophone, clarinet), Jeff Kimmel (bass clarinet), and Jaimie Branch (trumpet, cornet).
