Leap of Faith Orchestra & Sub-Units

At Third Life Studios

Surface of Revolution

Liner Notes by PEK

The second performance at our new venue (Third Life Studios) for this part of the overall Evil Clown project. A smaller orchestra of about 12-15 people perform a pure improvisation of 50 minutes duration. To open the show, we play 4 shorter (15 minute) quartets by different Sub-Units…

We get two critical kinds of prep for the full orchestra performances of PEK scores: Concise improvisations by sometimes unique small cross sections of players from the roster and pure improvisations by the largest versions of Leap of Faith to perform without a score directing the development of the work. The only direction is for each player to lay out for about 1/3 of the total duration.
