Counter Spectacle

In November 2024 (for reasons that we all understand) I recharged the meaning and value of my commitment to play Free Music many years ago. Everyday since I’ve been guided by its inherent support for the rights of all people, non-violence, peace, equitable, moral, ethical justice for everyone, the health of the planet, and the certainty that music might comfort us, enlighten us and even elevate our thinking.
The current criminal world spectacle requires billions of individual and collective counter spectacles. Most of them are embedded in ideas, presented in culture or merely proceeding with life, expressing hope in spite of the creeping menace.
The music on this recording, even with some composed structure, is as spontaneous as possible. I want it to grow and change with multiple performances. It’s one new example of a continuous beginning, my preferred way of working—always looking ahead.
