Listen to Counterstasis – Refracted Voices on Bandcamp

The music you hear here is a spontaneously composed
exploration of gestures and sonorities connected to new
chamber music, free jazz, sound art, experimental, and
other creative music traditions. Gilliam, Hall, and Sorbara
draw on a wide variety of traditional and extended
techniques and employ both conventional and bent
approaches to melodicism, groove, and chromatic
harmony. Their music is expanded by Hall’s real-time
triggering and processing of his wind instruments using a
sound design workstation by Kyma as well as OMax
artificial intelligence improvising software and a CataRT
Audio Mosaic Concatenative Synthesis program; both
from the Paris-based research institute, IRCAM.

Bill Gilliam – acoustic piano, preparations
Glen Hall – woodwinds, electro-acoustics
Joe Sorbara – drums, percussion
