Even before the first shoots curiously peek their heads out of the ground, LOFT and the Multiple Joy[ce] Orchestra are already preparing for their first harvest.
With compositions by guest artist Simon Nabatov, as well as Matthias Schubert, Frank Gratkowski, and Carl Ludwig Hübsch, the orchestra proves once again that a good harvest is not a matter of long deliberation. With a sure hand and an unerring sense for the best moment, the accomplished orchestra improvisers transform a wide variety of compositional guidelines in their sleep—because once it starts playing, all music is real-time music. Everything else is plans and mind games.
Which is to say, however, that these are the icing on the cake, the outstanding feature of this unique orchestra.
