about

The concept of this album derives from the transliteration on the spot - performed by the conductor - of the scores of a classic and a contemporary composition into hand signals, which were interpreted immediately by the improvising ensemble (which had no access to the scores during the performance), all in real time. In conjunction with the conductor, the scores function as a signal generators, establishing a process that results in what could be called, in lack of a worst term, a "degenerativization" of the original works through a characteristic language of improvisation decided for this particular ensemble. Despite its extreme derivative transformation, the resulting pieces maintain more or less the structure, textures and melodic profiles of their generative genus.
