This music is the result of a casual session at my studio in Brooklyn. Carsten has been visiting NYC for the past few years in August and attending the improvised music series I curate - C.O.M.A. that takes place on Sundays at ABC No-Rio on the Lower Eastside. We had some interesting encounters during the open sessions and I suggested we meet at my place before he returned to Munich.
Afterward Carsten thought since we had no expectations an appropriate title would be "Projection: Zero". As we both have an interest in Zen Buddhism it made sense... the music...the titles...the concept...
The unique sound on this recording comes from our different backgrounds and approaches to music.
Carsten has been performing composed 20th century classical/new music for a number of years while I have been immersed in the improvised/free jazz/new music scene.
But to analyze this even further ...the intense listening that afternoon and the spontaneous compositions became Projection: Zero.
