FONT’s all over town this week. After the 9:00 set at Abrons head a few blocks up to the Stone to hear Reut Regev’s Brassix.
Brassix is a six piece Brass band that I put together about two years ago when I was commissioned by the Festival of New Trumpet Music to write a piece for Brass.
I wrote a composition that is some type of a musical game for five Brassists and a drummer. There are some written complete pieces within the somposition, as well as some written smaller fragments and some directed improvisation. The different parts are cued visually, audibly, and environmentally.
Brassix performed the piece at the Festival of new Trumpet music, 2008.
Its been two years, and the piece has been begging me to be played again!
So, this Sat, Jan 16th, at the Stone, Ave C and 2nd St in NYC, we are doing it.
