NATE WOOLEY - Battle Pieces 4

"Nate Wooley explains the set-up of his Battle Pieces as a ‘social form’ which, in practice, works out as a network of nested together structures, one designated soloist improvising on the parameters of a piece as the other members of the group weave around a loose-leaf book of shorter and longer compositions; then the spotlight shifts to a different soloist. Compositional forms are digested inside improvisations that could not exist without the very thing they are devouring."
