Joseph Branciforte and Chris Botta's Double Quartet performs intricate and genre-defying compositions, blending modern harmony, pop song forms, exotic arrangements, and heavy beats. With the rich instrumentation of guitar, vibraphone, bass, drums, and sting quartet, the band seeks to engage audiences ranging from young coeds at college football games to the creatures that lurk the depths of the ocean.
After years of tinkering with their musical formula, young composers/performers Joseph Branciforte and Christopher Botta have finally found the instrumentation and personnel to realize their vision. They've enlisted an elite brigade of musicians disciplined in modern performance and improvisation to pursue a new form of elegance, where the ornate and the visceral live together without conflict.

I need to talk to u and pierce, if u could call me and we could discuss whether or not u could get a projector from a prof. at berklee, my number is 617-777-5306.

Mad, mad, mad great crazy night last night :-D... thanks for tolerating my alterred state.
I eventually ended up locked in a shower somewhere in that building, and then later, on my back under the very center of the acoustic dome in the infinite corridor this morning. Best easter ever.
