About this Event
"All music has a beginning and an ending. In other words, all music possesses "finality." The genesis of this project begins with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of "finality." Do imaginary worlds exist beyond the threshold of "finality," and could improvisation serve as the catharsis towards a newly imagined genre that embodies "finality" as the vessel for creation?"
