This Ian Davis composition contrasts treble and bass staccato and glissando notes over a bed of diverging trumpet and clarinet lines that set the length of the piece.

Another juicy morsel from the reeds of Mr. Rosenberg.

This recording is from a performance at New York's Tonic performance space. Fifteen members of Micro-East Collective drove to New York and teamed with five members of Dr. Nerve, Nick Didkovsky's long-standing performance ensembled. Nick composed "Out of My Face" for this performance. Eugene Chadbourne, long-time resident of Greensboro, curated the Tonic performances and provided this opportunity to Micro-East.

This is an improvisation based on a Gypsy melody sung in the film "Latcho Drom," an amazing, nearly speechless documentary about the Rajasthani roots and nomadic diffusion of music across all of the Central Asia, Middle East and Europe, culminating in Spain. The approach taken was for each member of this large ensemble to take the melody and play it in whole or in part in any range, perhaps literally and perhaps allusively.
