about

*ca. 10 HOURS of music*

"Conducting is no longer a mere method for an interpretation, but an actual part of the process of composition. Conduction is a means by which a conductor may compose, (re)orchestrate, (re)arrange and sculpt both notated and non-notated music. Using a vocabulary of signs and gestures, many within the general glossary of traditional conducting, the conductor may alter or initiate rhythm, melody, and harmony; develop form and structure; and instantaneously change articulation, phrasing, and meter. Conduction is a viable musical tool for the improvising ensemble."
—Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris

Giant Beauty
by أحمد [Ahmed]

supported by 5 fans who also own “TESTAMENT: A CONDUCTION COLLECTION”

Despite the length and variety offered by this release, a few general techniques or patterns are present throughout. Most notable is the interaction between Thomas and Wright, with the former playing in his signature dense and percussive style while the latter provides bursts of gritty notes on the alto. Wright’s wailing is an unconventional counterpoint to Thomas’s classicism. https://avantmusicnews.com/2024/04/06/amn-reviews-%d8%a3%d8%ad%d9%85%d8%af-ahmed-giant-beauty-2024-bandcamp/ Michael Borella
