This past April, my new (and way too difficult) saxophone quartet, Alinea, was premiered by the outstanding New Thread Sax Quartet. The work, meaning a new line of thinking (as does “New Thread”), explores the idea of “improvisation” within notated music. It’s the beginning of a new line of thinking within my compositional practice, and I cannot wait to share this work. I just got the recording back and am in the process of getting it ready for publishing. More on this soon!
A MASSIVE thank you to New Thread for utterly annihilating their chops in the realization of this work. Y’all are superstars and I cannot wait to see what’s next for your group.
