Concert 3 - Late Night: Trance

Two perspectives that expand the traditional concept of a work can be heard on this concert. The composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton combines improvised and notated music, experimental jazz and European avant-garde. Inspired by the hour-long circle dances through which the indigenous population of North America attempted to make contact with their ancestors, he created his Ghost Trance Music series as open scores. In these, Braxton provides the performers with melodic material but allows them ample freedom to shape this musical ritual. Meanwhile, Catherine Lamb’s line/shadow consists of just a few verbal instructions: a trance-like, deep-listening experience for musicians and audience alike as they sit together on the KKL stage.
