DP ARCHIVAL RELEASE 005 =======

"ED09: Live at ISSUE Project Room" (2009) is previously unreleased; "ED09: Live at The Stone" (2009) was previously released on LP by Basses Frequencies; "ED09: Live at Roulette" (2008) was previously released on CD-R by Quiet Design.

ED09 is a rule-based, long-tone composition by Duane Pitre. The work's score calls for 12 or more performers from the String and Wind categories, along with the possible addition of bowed electric guitar (played by the composer).

The composition has morphed in a natural manner since Pitre starting experimenting with its fundamental concepts in 2005. And while a portion of the current score (revised in 2008/2009) instructs the performers to execute specific notated pitches that coincide with conducted hand-signs, the remainder allows the performers to make minor decisions based on a structure consisting of set playing methods, technique restrictions, fixed pitch classes, and spontaneous conduction—resulting in slow-shifting permutations of a single chord over a long duration.

Essentially, the score enables all of the performers to approach this planned improvisation in the same manner, thus creating a group of musicians that thinks and plays as a cohesive unit. The result is a piece of music that is focused, yet fluid, minimal, yet dense—yielding a sound that is not unlike slow-motion chamber music.
