    CJM Music at Roulette

    Friday, December 8, 2006 - 8:30pm - 10:00pm   map

    Composer and trombonist Christopher McIntyre has been developing a number of large ensemble projects in the past few years, both as a leader and collaborator. Several of them will fill Roulette's stage during this event, including TILT Brass Band, Lotet and Ne(x)tworks. A thread that carries through each group is both technical and spiritual: mapping the space between composition and improvisation. In the process of making pieces for these bands, an immersive and colorful aesthetic has emerged in McIntyre's work. Tonight's program offers a full evening of this repertoire, as well as new works commissioned by Roulette with support from the Jerome Foundation and performed by an impressive array of new music’s heaviest-hitters. 

    The first half of the performance features scores written for the composer/performer band Ne(x)tworks, including the premiere of Herkimer [string_sets], a set of dynamic "rhythmicles" for strings and electronics.

    Ne(x)tworks is Joan La Barbara (voice), Stephen Gosling (synthesizer), Kenji Bunch (viola), Yves Dharamraj (cello), Cornelius Dufallo & Ariana Kim (violins), Shelley Burgon (harp & electronics), Miguel Frasconi (glass instruments & electronics) Peter Evans (trumpet) and McIntyre (trombone & director).

    Members of the McIntyre-led ensembles TILT Brass Band and Lotet, along with some very special guests, join forces on the second half to perform a set of isomorphic & abstracted musical structures. In addition to expanded works from the Lotet repertoire, "LoTILT's" set includes Metaxis, an electro-acoustic environment that uses a hybrid score of cellular and strategic notation. Grouped in pairs, the instrumentation on hand fuses the timbral bliss of TILT with the low frequency undulations of Lotet's live-electronics.

    With: Nate Wooley & Peter Evans (trumpet), Curtis Hasselbring & Steve Swell (trombone), Ron Caswell & Joe Exely (tuba), Charles Waters (bass clarinet), Colin Stetson (bass saxophone), Kato Hideki (bass & live-electronics), John King (live-electronics & guitar), Ryan Sawyer & Mick Rossi (percussion), and McIntyre (trombone & director).

    TILT Brass Band at BAMcafe

    Friday, April 7, 2006 - 9:00pm - 10:00pm   map

    TILT makes its BAMcafé debut taking cues from many areas of compositional thought. The evening includes Anthony Coleman's Set Into Motion and TILT member Chris McIntyre's written and improvised hybrid work Stitch No.2 (both created for the ensemble). Set Into Motion is "a fantasy on associations with brass instruments" that puts Gil Evans with Gustav Mahler with ongo (from the Central African Republic). Also on the program is Swell Piece and Swell Piece No. 2 from legendary composer James Tenney's seminal late 60's/early 70's process work Postal Pieces. Light Over Water, a little-known early work by composer John Adams is fashioned into a TILT-specific realization from manuscript sketches and features Anthony Coleman and Stephen Gosling on keyboards.

    Greg Evans (cond.); CJ Camerieri, Taylor Haskins, Charlie Porter (trumpet); John Clarke, Ann Ellsworth (horn); Joe Fiedler, Chris McIntyre (trombone), Mike Boschen (bass trombone); Andrew Bove (tuba); Chris Nappi (perc.); Anthony Coleman, Stephen Gosling (synth)
