(2-LP set) Adam Rudolph and Go: Organic Orchestra Find the Dynamic Beautiful Center of Globally Informed Improvisationally Generated SoundA walled city a map of the world a spiraling call: A mandala s meaning extends far beyond pattern and line. It does more than represent an ideal or suggest a path. It is reality laid out in it s true form for US to contemplate. Composer and percussionist Adam Rudolph finds a similar shape of things via sound enlisting the Go: Organic Orchestra an ensemble of players who can be assembled anywhere anytime. In the project s latest iteration Rudolph has gathered his longest collaborating group of musicians based in New York for a series of elegant diversely textured pieces that form a Sonic Mandala. Following a compositional and conducting approach Rudolph has honed over decades of contemplation performance and creation the group delineates a space where contemporary classical jazz and global traditions effortlessly converge. Though Rudolph provides matrix-based scores and a streamlined vocabulary of conducting gestures to guide musicians ultimately the pieces spring from the intent focus and spontaneous dialogue engendered in the musicians themselves.
