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.
