...many different things, at times in an easily discerned and sequential format, others in a discontinuous, faceted plane of subtly shifting content and timbres. 99% instrumental. Always elements of indeterminacy/improvisation (choose your term), players given space to exert their will on the music within various contexts. Lots of brassed out bliss, especially multiple trombones. Site specificity can be important, as a literal influence on content, a subtextual guide; using electronic soundtracks and live laptopistry to create a sonic space within the physical space, often locating the sounds with boomboxes and/or discreet multichannel output systems.

Christopher McIntyre leads a multi-faceted career in the contemporary arts as a solo and ensemble performer, composer, and curator/producer. The diversity of his activities led Time Out New York to note that "...with every passing week, trombonist-composer Chris McIntyre becomes more central to the new-music experience in New York." (Feb. '08 ) He performs on trombone and synthesizer in a variety of settings that often incorporate improvisation within notation. Current projects include leading TILT Brass and 7X7 Trombone Band , and collaborative efforts such as Ne(x)tworks. In his composing, McIntyre has experimented with conceptual elements such as spatialization, recontextualized notated material, and improvisative strategy, along with ideas of scale, symmetrical pitch constructions, and self-similarity. He has contributed work to the repertoire of TILT, Ne(x)tworks, 7X7 Trombone Band (for choreographer Yoshiko Chuma), Flexible Orchestra, and B3+ brass trio. Beyond performing and creating music, McIntyre is active as a curator and concert producer. He is currently Artistic Director of the MATA Festival, and frequently presents independent projects at venues including The Kitchen, Issue Project Room, and The Stone (June 2007).

Hey Chris! Sorry I've been missing in action on the whole myspace scene. My life's gotten a little too full ever since i joined facebook. How are you? Amazing projects and music. Have fun!
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my new album Afrikan Machinery is out now on Tzadik Records. Check out some of the tracks on my profile! You can buy the CD here, here, or here. It's also available on iTunes.
Best Wishes, Lukas Ligeti
hola pre-padre! had a thought the other day: any chance you'd know someone (jonas thought maybe fey) who'd want to take your GGG role this fall? if so, and you'd care to invite them, that'd be swell. i'm looking at bostonians, but am open, esp. if they're a bit nearer. talk soon!
Hey you!!!!!! Just thinking about you all. Have you had your little bambino yet? Hope all is well. When all is settled down in the crib over there it would be oh so nice to play duets. What do you think? hugs sara
Hey Man. Went to a Zeitgeist Lowertown Listening Session on a brake from working in the studio. It was the best brake I ever had. I wish you were with me, I had much to discuss.
Hiya!! Looking forward to seeing you a bunch this month. I got a comment from you that I'm not sure you sent. I don't want to open the web link just in case it's a bug. Did you sent me a comment or has someone commandeered your password? Anywho, looking forward. Best Sara
