Ne(x)tworks are artists-in-residence at IPR for Spring 2006. Ne(x)tworks (formerly Open Aspects Ensemble) is a collaborative ensemble of performing composers based in New York City. Formed in June 2002, the group continues the maverick tradition in American music of creating and interpreting work that blurs distinctions between composition and improvisation. Ne(x)tworks’ repertoire encompasses an extraordinary range of aesthetics, including works by composers of the New York School and idiosyncratic new works from artists within the ensemble (including experimental operas by renowned composer/vocalist Joan La Barbara and composer/violinist Kenji Bunch).
