Starting the year in full swing, I will retreat to the beautiful city of Albi in the south of France to spend a week long residency at the GMEA studio to develop my ongoing research on interpreting the music of Anthony Braxton. For this residency I will focus on solo interpretations of Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music:
Ghost Trance Solo’s explores the full extend of Braxton’s GTM compositions in the context of a solo performance. In order to generate what Braxton refers to as a field of activities in a solo-context, I developed an intuitive set-up using loops and live-electronics to have several layers of musical material develop simultaneously and spontaneously.
During the residency at GMEA I will make recordings of different versions of Braxton’s GTM compositions. More info here.
Here’s a recording of a recent live performance at the Conservatory in Antwerp as part of the Articulate Research days:
