The timing of this crowning achievement couldn't be better for Braxton's most recent professional goals: he is the founding Artistic Director of the newly incorporated Tri-Centric Foundation, Inc., a New York-based not-for-profit corporation including an ensemble of some 38 musicians, four to eight vocalists, and computer-graphic video artists assembled to perform his compositions.

Roy Powell - Lorenzo Feliciati - Lucrezio de Seta: Aria

Read "Aria" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

British by birth and Norwegian by choice, he once spent serious time as Anthony Braxton's pianist on those wild European tours where the music looked like geometry homework, and the applause was optional. He later slipped into the electric Norwegian wave, trading greasy ...

Dopo l'esperienza con gli Aktuala, sul finire degli anni Settanta ha iniziato a intrecciare la sua strada con quella di Tiziano Tononi, dal ché è nato poco dopo Nexus, e di lì tutta una storia comune in cui ognuno ha messo del suo. Del resto, ...

Through an immersive concept centered dually around sound as character and the abstract relationships between numerical structures as they apply to time and groove, Rosenboom has crafted a self portrait that bridges many ...
