This whole year I've been meeting with 3 other composers every week to improvise. At first it was just something fun we did (at least that's what it was for me). But through the year we've sort of improved a lot and starting to really think this could be a real musical opportunity. Last month we had our first performance performing "the well and the gentle" by Pauline Oliveros. It was a total blast! We were a bit nervous, but the performance was actually our best run through of it to date and I think that's a good sign for an ensemble. We're looking for a name which is difficult but we're on the path!
We're added a 5th member, Paul Thomas on accordion which is a great addition to my electric guitar, L. Scott Price on electric guitar, Sarah Summar on violin, and Ben Johansen on alto sax.
Original Quartet with Pauline Oliveros:
L to R: Sarah Summar, Ben Johansen, Patrick Peringer, Scott Price
