Album Notes & Community Reviews

Performed impeccably by the Ensemble Avantgarde, this recording beautifully highlights the highly fluid, 'open form' compositions of American avant-garde pioneer Earle Brown. 'Synergy' heavily features works that grant the performers significant improvisational freedom regarding sequence and tempo, ensuring no two performances are identical. The album effectively documents his crucial role in introducing visual arts concepts directly into modern classical structuralism.
