Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2022 Country: UK Packaging: Digipack - 3 panel Recorded at the Kazz Lab/Jazz Club, in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia, by students from the RMT VE Sound Production Program.
"Each player in this collaboration brings with them a high level of expertise and their instrument in diverse musical styles. They also bring improvisatory experience in generating ideas, making choices of when to play or not to play, copying ideas or developing ideas, and the possibilities of taking conciliatory or contrasting positions in their improvisatory contributions.
What also contributes to these choices are the music experiences of each performer. In 2021, Jordan Murray's (PhD research) investigated an approach to the performance of collaborative free improv based on what he called "indices of style". This recording is an example of a stylistic bricolage where each player brings a series of style signifiers that informs the collective improvisations that are performed "in the moment"."
