Improvised Music by Bex Burch, Caroline Kraabel & Friends!

Burch and Kraabel discovered their affinity and overlapping approaches to improvised music two years ago, building on this discovery with the Oto-Moers Quartet and in Burch’s Kantine Musik. Tonight they bring together a group of eminent friends to improvise with attention to the finest grain of acoustic and physical space, along with equality for sounds, identities, listeners, and improvisers.

The audience’s focus is so important. Their attention, their breath, is a gift that allows the improvisation to expand and live. There is reciprocity between hearers of sound who are playing and non-playing hearers, who complete the improvisation by lending it their attention and perceiving it as an evolving whole – where, who, why, how, what next – through the evolving definitions of space and relationships.
