Description

On April 19th, 1975, at Northern Illinois University, three musicians met in a milestone event from which emerged a unique, improing trio with two pianos and South Indian percussion. Fortunately, it was recorded and excerpts released on a long out of print LP. This CD recaptures the essential essence of the entire evening of musical discovery with previously unreleased music recovered from digitally reprocessed tapes recently discovered in diverse states of preservation. Rosenboom and Floyd, formed a piano duo in the early 1970 s from which emerged a unique style of structured improation. They employed a wide range of musical tools, including techniques for implementing forms that evolve gradually in performance time, but invoked them spontaneously in improation, rather than through pre-composition. All the music arose uniquely in each musical moment. In 19IV75, some material was also drawn from the first and second movements of Rosenboom s, The Seduction of Sapientia, and the second movement of Patterns for London. Composed in 1972 for London s International Carnival of Experimental Sound, each of Patterns for London s three movements is a cyclical form with no beginning or end. Movement I is comprised of a cirar progression of tonal modules, each defined by a set of ostinato chords and modal scales, all containing the common tone, A. These are expanded through improation. This is a virtuosic solo mixing Sankaran s compositions with improation in the eight-beat cycle, Adi tala. It progresses through introductory and middle stages to modulating to six pulses per beat, called tisra gati, and finally, to an exciting fast pharan section. In the middle, a call and response idea is artiated with only one mrdangam, but sounds as if there are more. The entire solo is improed in a traditional format in line with the spirit of the two-piano performances.
