"Battle Pieces" was conceived as a background for an improviser, using linguistics, tape processes & aleatoric concepts to fashion an ever-shifting composition that supplies the soloist with information within the context of an ever-changing series of densities, velocities and silences.

"Battle Pieces was premiered at Anthony Braxton's Tri-Centric Foundation Festival in April. The quartet, consisting of myself, Ingrid Laubrock, Sylvie Courvoisier, and Matt Moran navigated the new set of pieces, which are intended to be mobile and ever-changing compositions for trio with improvising soloist. The music was tremendous and we got a great response. The musicianship of Ingrid, Matt, and Sylvie would nothing less than astonishing and I had had high hopes."-Nate Wooley
