8:00 pm
HANS TAMMEN & THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA Hans Tammen uses Earle Brown's open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, thoroughly composed and purely improvised at the same time, inspired by West African roots of Jazz, Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Steve Coleman, and Stravinsky's layering or Steve Reich's phase techniques. Drawing from a single repertoire of around 100 pre-conceived musical units, the conductor uses the orchestra as an instrument, while each performer shapes the music through virtuosic improvisation and the individual stylization of musical performance. "Everything about Third Eye Orchestra... indicates mastery and control" (Howard Mandel / CD Liner Notes) -- http://www.tammen.org/ens_teo.html Rebecca Cherry (vio), Sarah Bernstein (vio), Stephanie Griffin (vla), Tomas Ullrich (cel), Chris McIntyre (tb), Briggan Krauss (as, bari), Robert Dick (fl, cbfl), Ferdinand Rexforth (ts), Dafna Naphtali (voice, live sound processing), Nick Didkovsky (g), Denman Maroney (p/kb), Ursel schlicht (p/kb), Stomu Takeishi (b), Andrew Drury (dr), Hans Tammen (composer, conductor, concept).
