This release present The Bridge [2.1] for a performance and live recording in the studio as a concluding event in their 3 day micro-residency. Their collaborative efforts titled Crying Out Loud, is an improvisational quintet ensemble featuring Dan Bitney, Christian Bopp, Rob Frye, Jayve Montgomery and Simon Sieger.

The quintet is inspirited by tiny written compositions acting as pretexts for interaction. Fragments of melody, rhythm or texture form an environment in which all musicians evolve in an interdependent organic manner. According to the sound and intention of the individual, the other musicians adapt in the manner of an ecosystem with premeditated conditions.

The keyword of this ensemble is adaptation: to the context in which the ensemble is playing, adaptation to the unknown as none of the musicians have played with each other before, and adaptation in terms of sound and concept to the particular fragment that is being interpreted.

The quintet format is asymmetrical and creates an unbalanced, anomalous collaborative structure. Simultaneously, the ensemble can act as a typical band with the tuba acting as bass and two horns in the frontline as an alternate rhythm section. More still, the structure can be reversed when three horns play against an electronic section.

The reason why fragments are being used as pretexts for improvisation is to bring attention to the infinite possibilities of structuring improvisation, as well as to the richness of pure sound making as defining form.
