Chain of Existence (An Event Sequence) Live at Old 1st Concerts on 8/10/2007.
Event I: Primordial
interlude
Event II: Momentum
interlude
Event III: Haven
Life is an inexplicable and humbling chain of events. This piece, a "chain" of sorts, reflects three significant personal events connected together by two interludes. I hope the music, without my having to "explain" it, can illustrate the extent these events made an impression on me. The first event has a primitive, or nascent, feel to it, where one can hear cajon and didgeridoo. The next event is an "energy piece" based on a simple melody. The last event is a solemn invocation where the tenor speaks to memories of the past. This suite was originally recorded on "an indefinite suspension of the possible" available from Black Hat Records.

Ha-Me'aggel (one who draws circles) Live at Old 1st Concerts on 9/10/2007. This piece has four sections that can be played in any order — a form known as circle music. The melodies in the piece were written using a Klezmer scale, which made me think of the story of Onias (Honi) Ha-Me'aggel, a first century Jewish scholar who drew a circle and placed himself in the center of it, praying for rain — and whose prayers were mysteriously and immediately answered. This song was originally recorded on "an indefinite suspension of the possible" available from Black Hat Records.
CKW Trio plays "Harmonic Rebellion" live at The Jazz House. Harmonic Rebellion is available on CQ's CD entitled "an indefinite suspension of the possible' from Black Hat Records. This piece uses a three-note cell for its structure. We restricted ourselves to these three notes for the first part of the performance to establish a base for creating multiphonic and harmonic sounds. A second section expands the three notes into a mode, which is based on a harmonic minor scale but with an augmented 4th. www.blackhatrecords.com
CKW Trio plays Loss live at The Jazz House. Loss is available on CQ's CD entitled "an indefinite suspension of the possible' from Black Hat Records.
"Loss" is about my grandmothers, The Two Ruths, were (and continue to be) a big source of support for me. Ruth Whitmore showed me the world, and Ruth Baumann was my biggest fan. They both passed during the recording of this project. The series of duets here is meant as a reflection of their absence in my life. www.blackhatrecords.com
CKW Trio plays Augmented live at The Jazz House. Augmented is available on CKW Trio's CD entitled "The Is' from Black Hat Records. This performance is the result of experimenting with an augmented scale (which utilizes a # 11 and 5). We love that this scale can yield major, minor, and augmented triads. To go along with such flexibility, we have used a flexible tempo.
