I wrote a new piece for three residents who inspired me: 

pianist Rosabel Choi, saxophonist Adam Kinner (aka Kinny K Blaze) and bassist Jake Leckie. It’s based on the 15th-century chanson O Rosa Bella by John Bedingham (originally it was attributed to Dunstable). The piano preparations I was working with at the time made their way into the piece: magnets, chopstics, coat hangers, etc.

 

Have a listen to the recording of the concert December 10th at The Banff Centre.
