On January 30th 2010, Broadcloth trio played two sets of their original compositions with two aspiring guests. Broadcloth is a free improv Chamber group that includes:
Anne Rhodes, Vocal
Nathan Bontrager, Cello
Adam Matlock, Accordion and Recorders(he also provided some voices)
The guests were
Gabriel Bolaños Chamorro, electronic spectral music composition and guitar
Steve Zieminski, percussion and drums
The trio played the following pieces(in the order they were played):
“Intro piece” composed by Nathan Bontrager
“Windows In Walls” composed by Adam Matlock
“In Stitches” composed by Anne Rhodes and inspired by an embroidery she had made
”State Crunch Singularity” composed by Gabriel Bolaños Chamorro and includes electronic renderings of previously played tracks with acoustic performance
After the break, Gabriel and Steve joined the trio in playing the following pieces:
“Intro Piece II” revised with the addition of Gabriel on the guitar
The quintet then played a circular series of duets where two performers would play simultaneously with one of them leading while the other musician provides the atmosphere and transfer the rhythm to the next musician. This was really outstanding. Gabriel played the guitar and Steve the percussions.
“In Stitches II” was revisited with Steve adding the percussions
The quintet finally finished the performance with an improv(improvisation) finale.
You may find all the video clips captured during the performance on YouTube (links are provided on the names of the individual pieces above). Alternatively, I created a playlist that shows the pieces one at a time in the same order they were played, here it goes:
