Leap Of Faith Orchestra Performs Possible Universes By Pek at Somerville Armory

On Leap of Faith: "Alien yet familiar, bizarre yet completely fascinating. Expanding, contracting, erupting, settling down, always as one force..." - Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery

The third performance by LOFO of a frame notation score by PEK which guides the improvisation of the large ensemble. English descriptions of the overall sonority desired and simple graphic symbols are given durations for each player on their part along with direction on when to play and when not to play. The directions are put in little boxes called frames which are arranged on a timeline and are simple enough to be immediately understood by the performers. The players track the elapsed time on a very large sports clock. There is no melodic, harmonic or rhythmic information specified. Possible Universes is a sonic delight that you will never see elsewhere... Come see for yourself!...
