Triptych Myth is a true musical collective consisting of Tom Abbs on double bass, cello, violin, didgeridoo, Chad Taylor on drum set and percussion, and Cooper-Moore performing on a multitude of self made and traditional musical instruments, piano, flute, bamboo flutes, ashimba, diddley-bo, mouth-bow, horizontal-hoe-handle harp, teze, wooden three string banjo and electronics. In describing the music that they create, Cooper-Moore states, "We are three, no, not just three musicians improvising with one another, but three worlds, three oscillating galaxies colliding. The music results from that. When it's working for me, there is the sense of Future Past, a Hubble image."

Solo concert "This is not about virtuosity, in spite of Rothenberg's superb technique.... Other kinds of music might entertain you, cheer you up or pump the blood, but his clarifies the mind and throws your soul wide open." Manfred Pabst, Neue Z˝richer Zeitung

Michael Attias
THE CLINAMEN ORCHESTRA

"Sometimes", wrote Lucretius, "at uncertain times and places, the eternal, universal fall of the atoms is disturbed by a very slight deviation - the clinamen". The unpredicted swerve of one atom which in collision creates a multiplicity of worlds, gives its name to the Clinamen Ensemble, featuring Micha‘l Attias on alto saxophone, Ellery Eskelin on tenor saxophone, Mark Taylor on French horn, Matt Moran on vibraphone, Brad Jones on bass, and Satoshi Takeishi on percussion. Meters in meltdown, something like Klee's checkerboard all right angles softened by breath, a two becoming three becoming one, Attias' music is a turbulent flow of time and color.

The Poetics of No Piano Music inspired by some of her favourite writers & poets - Brecht, Shakespeare, Edith Sitwell, amongst others - with the aid of anything but a piano (accordion, ukelele, bass clarinet, glass and voice).

Practicing functional anarchy with a far-ranging textural diversity (due in part to the multiple wind instruments mastered by Daniel and Sabir), TEST are forward motion cutting pure and true through the presently ruling culture of destruction. The infamous NYC quartet has its roots in mid 70's loft jazz and these distinguished masters of sound and youthful hustle are far out!!
