15 Morphing trios - introduction
Posted: Tue May 14, 2019 7:27 am
Morphing Trios - using System 50:50 -
Instrument design
2 x percussionist / `drummers`
2 x guitar
2 x reeds
To create an ensemble, a sextet, consisting of two trios, with a shared instrumentation [instrument category].
To select players, in each category with contrasting styles or to reject that thinking and accept all `free improvisers` are unique.
To employ `System 50:50` - to research the outcomes; morphing trios, duos, total-collective playing, group silence.
For this project the introduction of System 50:50, and lets say it is a 50:50 ratio, the statistical average may lead us to speculate, that there will be three players in action at any one time, but the impact of system 50:50 may indicate that the personnel of that trio will `morph` or vary.
The sound stage may be percussion, guitar, reeds: the personnel or personal voices delivering that outcome, will vary or morph. However the trio’s instrumental configuration is not the target sound stage or aim or required/desired musical aesthetic: any combination can happen and probaly will.
----------------------------------------
A proposal: The M62 sextet [ temp name ] - a proposal made by Nick Branton
Johnny Hunter, Metty Metcalfe - percussion
Mark Hanslip, Nick Branton - reeds
Phil Morton, David Birchall - guitar
Play System 50:50
A proposal made by Nick Branton, without System 50:50 in mind. An example of synchronicity
This sextet has not yet happened, but has some traction.
