Synovial Joints
Description
Steve Coleman & Council of Balance / SYNOVIAL JOINTS Coleman?s main objective
for Synovial Joints was to investigate two novel compositional ideas:
exploring different connective principals to effect musical momentum and flow,
and a concept he calls camouflage orchestration. In the first, he analyzed the
movement of the various synovial joints of the human body ? how they pivot,
flex and bend, contract and relax ? and applied those features so that the
music flows not just in a linear fashion, but with cyclical spin or rotation.
In camouflage orchestration, which is inspired by the sounds that Coleman
recorded in the Amazon rainforest, he pays particular attention to how
instrument sounds can be distributed so that they are perceived to be in the
foreground, middleground and background, much as the layered sounds reveal
themselves in the rainforest. The New York Times recently named Coleman ?one
of the most influential figures in the last half-century of improvised music?
and, in awarding him the so-called ?Genius Grant,? the MacArthur Foundation
called him ?Influential well beyond the scope of saxophone performance and
composition, Coleman is redefining the vocabulary and vernaculars of
contemporary music.? Always looking forward, Synovial Joints is further
evidence that Coleman remains at the vanguard of expanding the possibilities
for musical expression.
