tea-rings

"tea-rings" is an improvisation with an organized form. Though the instrumentation is variable, every performance is exact to the seconds mark. The separate parts of the score are mathematically accounted. There is a gradual overlap of content until eventually all the performers are playing at once.

P.S. Performed by Anthony D'Agostino on double bass, C. Olivia Valenza on clarinet, Maksym Prykhodko on amplified fan, William Akers on trombone, and Nicholas Elert on guitar and electronics.
