about

“I was able — what a chance! — to bring together these exceptional musicians in December 2016. Since then, I have been writing for this group, and we have been rehearsing on a regular basis. This is a work-in-progress where everyone’s a soloist. Exploring their multiple talents, pushing back their limits and mine is thrilling, uplifting, and inspiring. The project revolves around densely written modular pieces where up to five parts are overlaid. Roles are permutable in a variable geometry of functions, so that each part can be shared by the whole band. An interactive, participatory process that borrows from all the types of experimental music I have played in my career. It requires a lot of time-sharing. The challenge is to make written music and improvised music live together naturally by granting performers a lot of freedom while preserving the characters of the original compositions. The result is a series of shapeshifting, playful, pointillist instrumental pieces, simultaneously precise, frantic, and wild.

The stars have aligned. This project is a new milestone in my career, both as a composer and a performer. It embodies a breath of fresh air, and there’s nothing more I would like than to share it with you! “ René Lussier
