3 Compositions (EEMHM) 2011

by Anthony Braxton

supported by

John Cratchley Nearly every Braxton recording seems to fall into the category of "landmark"...this is no exception, I think.
Everybody performs live, everybody samples...the iPod as creative instrument...fascinating.

Bob Ross It is going to take some time to Grok all this! Compelling..I would love to be a fly on the wall for rehearsals (or maybe more precisely...training) of some of Mr. Braxton's systems. Perhaps no.377 just grabs me the most Favorite track: Composition No. 377.

Carl Baugher Focused, superlative performances of Mr. Braxton's forward-leaning conceptual compositions. Never less than fascinating. Favorite track: Composition No. 373.

about

3 Compositions (EEMHM) 2011 features the first studio recordings of Braxton’s Echo Echo Mirror House Music—the latest conceptual innovation in Braxton’s five-decade career. With his Ghost Trance Music, Braxton created a framework for his musicians to freely explore his entire compositional output in each concert; with his Diamond Curtain Wall music, he brought his own interactive electronics into his improvisational palette. Now with Echo Echo Mirror House Music, Anthony Braxton brings these ideas to the next level. In this ensemble of longtime collaborators, all the musicians wield iPods in addition to their instruments, while navigating scores that combine cartography and evocative graphic notation, creating a musical tapestry combining live performance and sampled sound from Braxton’s extensive recorded discography.

Impeccably recorded at Firehouse 12’s state-of-the-art studio, the music is available in two formats: a traditional three-CD box set and a 5.1 Surround Sound audiophile Blu-ray disc. “As a culture, we are slowly moving away from target linear experiences that are framed as stationary constructs that don’t change on repeated listening, to a new world that constantly serves up fresh opportunities and interactive discourse,” Braxton says. “American people have made it clear that the new times will call for dynamic inter-action experiences.”
