This is chamber music composed and performed by three people. To describe it any other way would be to accept the whole patrilinear packet of western music history which so conveniently divides us all into composer, performers, improvisors, listeners, jazz musicians, etc. This music is traditional: we are part of the international and. more specifically, Dutch improvised music traditions. As in much of contemporary music the form is organic; what could be better than decisions made in real time? The music is about timing and texture; the sounds that we make and how they interact with each other. The written material is used more as a point of reference than as an entity to be faithfully reproduced.
