Degenerative Music #1 – Discordian Community Ensemble

The concept of this album derives from the transliteration on the spot – performed by the conductor – of the scores of a classic and a contemporary composition to hand signals, which were interpreted immediately by the improvising ensemble (which didn’t have access to the scores), all in real time. In conjunction with the conductor, the scores function as signal generators, resulting in what we might call a “degenerativization” of the original works through a specific language of improvisation decided for this particular ensemble. Despite the extreme derivative transformation the pieces maintain more or less the structure, textures and melodic profiles of their generative genus.
