International Contemporary Ensemble and exclusiveOr performing MODULES by Jeff Snyder and Sam Pluta
Jeff Snyder and I have been composing and improvising together since 2006, when we made our first album as exclusiveOr. In 2013 we were commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble for their ICELab commissioning series. The result is MODULES, a concert length work for brass quartet, analog synthesizer, live electronics, and percussion. The goal for the project is to tap exclusiveOr’s and ICE’s improvising talents, combining this with strictly notated scores, to create a concert-length barrage of notes, sounds, and noises. We wanted to create a work that is both a solid piece of composed music and a solid piece of improvisation, where these two opposing methodologies seamlessly intersect, complement each other, and imitate one another to create a unified whole.
International Contemporary Ensemble:
Peter Evans and Garreth Flowers, trumpets
David Byrd-Marrow, horn
Dan Peck, tuba
Ross Karre, percussion
exclusiveOr:
Jeff Snyder, analog sythesizer
Sam Pluta, live electronics
