Ambegin – Shifting Relations
Chapman –
The starting point of this set of pieces. All three works start virtually the same, but don’t stay that way. This was the first of the three, and was intended to be a play of shifting interval relationships.
Ambidance – Tension and Release
Chapman –
This piece is all about building tension, and then releasing it. It plays with slightly different tempos, and the overlap between them, as well as contrasting harmonic relationships that build tension, and then release it.
Special Guests: Baba Kwasi, Nana Kweku, and Diabate Moussa on Drums
Ambijam – Flow
Chapman –
The final piece in this trilogy is all about finding the flow and going with it, adapting to changing conditions. It’s also about taking elements that aren’t normally found together, and combining them in a harmonious way to build something greater than the separate parts and pieces.
