This page contains reference materials for a project in progress. Information here is mainly for musicians involved. Others interested are welcome to have a look.

The music uses improvisation in a mixed band of strings, woodwinds, piano, mallets, bass, and rhythmic percussion. The main ideas were to incorporate elements native to both the classical and jazz musicians (to not “force” the classical players to think or sound like jazz musicians or the reverse), and to avoid sectional writing, giving each player an individual stake in the music. The only recordings so far are MIDI “demos” — computer-generated representations of how the music might sound when performed:

No rehearsal, performance or broadcasting rights, expressed or implied, are granted. However if you take a mind to steal this music and accomplish any of that, I’d be fascinated to hear from you.
