Pillars is a three-disc, four-hour work for nonet -- with Sorey as conductor,
in the drum chair, on percussion, trombone, and dungchen (Tibetan horn);
Stephen Haynes on trumpet, flügelhorn, and small percussion; Ben Gerstein on
trombone and melodica; Todd Neufeld on electric and acoustic guitar, Joe Morris
on guitar and double bass; and Carl Testa, Zach Rowden, and Mark Helias on
double bass -- that erases boundaries not only between composition and
improvisation, but timbre and sonority, space and dynamics, while exploring
relationships between them and simultaneously questioning Western notions of
harmony. These discs -- each comprised of a single numbered part of the Pillars
suite -- showcase music composed and executed without a specific goal or
arrival point in its M.O. The Space Studio acts as an arbiter among the
players, who offer brief utterances, sometimes raucous statements, and fluid
conversations as the score unfolds.
