From June 2003 to Oct. 2019, Ne(x)tworks was a collaborative ensemble of musicians that created and interpreted work featuring a dynamic relationship between composition and improvisation. In performance and recordings, the group worked to locate pathways into various types of notation systems and interfaces, striving for a meaningful dialogue with the past, present, and future of creative music. Formed in 2003 in New York City, Ne(x)tworks extended the tradition of the performer/composer ensemble by frequently presenting full programs by its members. Its repertoire also encompassed the open scores of New York School and their European counterparts, further experiments by the composer performers of the AACM and SoHo Scene of the 1970's, the so-called Downtown composers of the 80's, and commissioned works by like-minded contemporary colleagues.
Ne(x)tworks released several recordings, including Earle Brown: Tracer on Mode Records, Ne(x)tworks Live Vol. 1: At The Stone, June 2007 and Ne(x)tworks Live Vol. 2: Music by Jon Gibson, both self-release and available at nextworks.bandcamp.com.
McIntyre was a co-founding member of Ne(x)tworks. He composed a number of mixed ensemble works for the group and was program curator from 2006 to 2010.
