About:
PENUMBREA for Woodwind(s) and Bass(es) is a series of 26 blocks of material
to be played or faceted, forwards or backwards. The piece was composed for this
duo, comprising Anthony Braxton on woodwind(s) and myself on bass(es). Along
with my other Penumbrea-system compositions, PENUMBREA for Woodwind(s) and
Bass(es) may be viewed as building blocks to be uniquely reconfigured for every
different performance/realization. In the case of the four individual Penumbras
on this recording, Anthony and I each drew from a deck of playing cards,
corresponding to blocks (26×2) of the composition, which determined the actual
recorded material at Wesleyan. Later, living in Berlin, I used indeterminate
methods as well as some personal preferences to construct the Penumbras into
their present form. Thank you, AB, for inspiration, support and your incredible
music (billions and billions…).
