David Watson: highland bagpipes Sean Meehan: snare drum, cymbal Special guest: trombone
A performance of long note improvisations and compositions using spatial location as an organizing principle.
These three acoustic improvisers are all masters of slow, subtly shifting improvisation. This is shared with a commitment to making rigorous new music in unusual contexts, including the outdoors — whether traveling the Sahara Desert with a trombone, Sean Meehan’s use of marginal spaces as concert locales, or David Watson’s experiences composing processions and parades.
