In a series of recorded excerpts, Fonema explores Anthony Braxton’s music, focusing on “Composition No. 255”.   This piece is part of Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music and therefore allows us to come together, break away, and follow our intuition as members of a collaborating body.  In live performance the score’s monophonic notated line functions as a communal home base and a loose road map so that sections can be entered and exited spontaneously by the performing group.  In this spirit, each of our recordings will capture a piece of this hour-long work and will highlight different potentials and possibilities underlying the score.  We are grateful to the Tri-Centric Foundation for their support and assistance with this project!   

This project will stream on our Digital Mural page and our YouTube channel on January 7 at 8pm ET / 7pm CT.
