Full Description:

Unique in the realm of approaches to improvisational conducting, Go: Organic Orchestra utilizes a composed non-linear score consisting of sound and motion elements. These include tone rows, synthetic scales, melodies, linguistic shapes, intervallic patterns, textural gestures, modes, ragas, maqams, and plainchant. The score serves to provide material for both the improvisations and the orchestrations. Motion and forms and are generated through the application of the composer’s rhythm concept “Cyclic Verticalism” whereby polymeters are combined with additive rhythm cycles.

In concert, the composer conducts the musicians in a spontaneous way by using a variety of hand signals to cue and orchestrate the score and direct the improvisations. He seeks to generate unusual relationships of sound against sound, form against form, and rhythm against rhythm in a non-linear, ever shifting kaleidoscope of music images: weaving an “audio syncretic music fabric”.

The music is “organic” in the sense that the compositions and conducting serve as inspiration and context for the musicians to express themselves in the moment by using their instruments as an amplifier for their inner voice. Through listening and imagination the conductor and performers inspire one another to create emotional colorations of sound.

Rather than the score being a set of instructions of what, how and when to play, the non-linear semiotic (symbols) of the written music are an invitation to discover the potentialities of what can happen when transformed into syntax as expressed through the hands and breath of a group of virtuosic, imaginative, and soulful improvisers.

” I caught a performance Go: Organic Orchestra down in SoHo last spring and was swept away by what they were doing. It was fascinating and ahead of its time, in the best possible way. I loved every minute of it. ” – Marc Meyers, jazzwax.com

” I was fortunate to have attended two nights with Adam Rudolph’s Go: Organic Orchestra at Roulette a few months back and was blown away by Adam’s distinctive blend of jazz and world music as well as his conducting.” – Bruce Lee Gallanter – Downtown Music Gallery

“The music, performed by a large ensemble of wind and percussion players, rose like vines from hand drummer Adam Rudolph’s written instructions and hand signals. And it truly is organic — a blend of gentle sustained dissonance, heaven-crashing rhythm jams, and individual improvisations. No joke: a startling and involving development in roots music, with more to follow.” – Greg Burk, LA Weekly

Organic Orchestra is unique in the realm of approaches to improvisational conducting. Utilizing non-linear notation in an original music score, Composer and Artistic Director Adam Rudolph conducts between 20 and 50 musicians with his prototypical conducting system. Over the past twelve years he has taught and conducted hundreds of musicians in Organic Orchestra concepts in both North America and Europe, most recently in Naples, Oslo and Istanbul.



For this series Rudolph will present new music with his New York based Organic Orchestra. Most of the 30 musicians (listed below) have been developing the music with the Orchestra for the past 4 years in residence at Roulette Intermedia. The first CD of the NYC Organic Orchestra will be released in fall of 2011 to coincide with the November concerts.

Full Description:

This will be the first performance of the complete Flow Cycle; five pieces which have individually received significant attention including programming on the New York Philharmonic Ensemble Series, Darmstadt Internationalen Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, Awarded the 18th Annual Serbian Composition Prize in Belgrade, and have been picked up by numerous soloists and trios for performance throughout the US and Europe (Italy, Austria, Serbia, Germany, The Netherlands).

Carrick's Flow Cycle has been described as "intriguing, enigmatic and eloquent," (Bruce Hodges, Music Web UK), and is based on an in-depth, musical adaptation of the Flow Theory of Csikszentmihalyi. Carrick's unique approach focuses Flow theories into two areas of music, the techniques of composing (achieving a musical flow of musical ideas over time) and the realm of musical perception (how musical sounds are perceived and interpreted by listeners that are in flow).

Performed by Either/Or and Guests:
Kuan Chung Lu, Andrea Schultz, violins
Dov Scheindlin, viola
Eric Bartlett, Alex Waterman, cellos

Program:
"in flow"
Shadow Flow
Duo Flow
Moroccan Flow (unfolding from unity)
Flow Trio, "a cause du soleil" (world premiere of complete trio)

Richard Carrick's music has been hailed as "charming... with exoticism and sheer infectiousness," (Allan Kozinn, The New York Times). Carrick's music has been performed in Vienna's Konzerthaus, and by the Nieuw Ensemble, Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, Sequitur Ensemble, JACK Quartet, MATA Festival, Wet Ink Ensemble, Either/Or Ensemble, Banff Centre, Ensemble-Online Wien, soloists Rohan de Saram, Carin Levine, Magnus Andersson, Ernest Rombout, conductor Harvey Sollberger and more. He has received recent invitations to lecture on his music and concertize in Stockholm, Tokyo, New York, London, Vienna, and California.

"Either/Or, a new and first-rate new-music ensemble" (Bernard Holland, The New York Times) has been hailed for its dynamic performances and creative programming of new and recent chamber music in New York City, leading to recent invitations to perform in distinguished venues in Manhattan and beyond. Either/Or concerts present new works for unconventional chamber ensembles and soloists rarely heard elsewhere. Drawing equally on the latest works of emerging composers, classics of the historical avant-garde, and the American Experimentalists, Either/Or, co-directed by Richard Carrick and David Shively, is fast developing a reputation as a compelling new voice on the New York concert calendar.

" I caught a performance Go: Organic Orchestra down in SoHo last spring and was swept away by what they were doing. It was fascinating and ahead of its time, in the best possible way. I loved every minute of it. " - Marc Meyers, jazzwax.com

" I was fortunate to have attended two nights with Adam Rudolph's Go: Organic Orchestra at Roulette a few months back and was blown away by Adam's distinctive blend of jazz and world music as well as his conducting." - Bruce Lee Gallanter - Downtown Music Gallery

"The music, performed by a large ensemble of wind and percussion players, rose like vines from hand drummer Adam Rudolph's written instructions and hand signals. And it truly is organic -- a blend of gentle sustained dissonance, heaven-crashing rhythm jams, and individual improvisations. No joke: a startling and involving development in roots music, with more to follow." - Greg Burk, LA Weekly

Full Description:

Unique in the realm of approaches to improvisational conducting, Go: Organic Orchestra utilizes a composed non-linear score consisting of sound and motion elements. These include tone rows, synthetic scales, melodies, linguistic shapes, intervallic patterns, textural gestures, modes, ragas, maqams, and plainchant. The score serves to provide material for both the improvisations and the orchestrations. Motion and forms and are generated through the application of the composer's rhythm concept "Cyclic Verticalism" whereby polymeters are combined with additive rhythm cycles.

In concert, the composer conducts the musicians in a spontaneous way by using a variety of hand signals to cue and orchestrate the score and direct the improvisations. He seeks to generate unusual relationships of sound against sound, form against form, and rhythm against rhythm in a non-linear, ever shifting kaleidoscope of music images: weaving an "audio syncretic music fabric".

The music is "organic" in the sense that the compositions and conducting serve as inspiration and context for the musicians to express themselves in the moment by using their instruments as an amplifier for their inner voice. Through listening and imagination the conductor and performers inspire one another to create emotional colorations of sound.

Rather than the score being a set of instructions of what, how and when to play, the non-linear semiotic (symbols) of the written music are an invitation to discover the potentialities of what can happen when transformed into syntax as expressed through the hands and breath of a group of virtuosic, imaginative, and soulful improvisers.
