This performance is a live album recording, opening with a solo performance by the internationally acclaimed, uninhibited improviser Charlotte Keefe, also dubbed ‘Sound Brush’. Dedicated to making music wherever, however, with total authenticity, Keeffe understands that embracing individuality and letting go of inhibitions is the surest way to access the transformative power of music.
Following, the quartet set will explore the depth and complexity embodied in individuals, going beyond individuality to communicate 'betweenness', what is reciprocally brought into existence. Starting with duos confined to the two instruments, this simple pairing allows unprescribed improvisations to showcase these themes. Next, the quartet reveals a duality which cannot be concealed. It was composed from embodied memories, a multi-layered representation reflecting everyone’s collective voices.
