Spaceflower
The band.
Responsive free improvisation for ceremony, contemplation, collaboration, and live performance.
Spaceflower
The music listens back.
In contemplative and ceremonial settings, this responsiveness allows the music to follow emotional movement, focus attention, and support shifts in experience. In performance, the same process produces music that can happen only once: musicians, audience, and room participating in one evolving system.
Listen
Ceremony excerpts.
These recordings are excerpts from responsive improvised ceremonial music. Each develops from the experience and atmosphere present at the time rather than from a fixed composition.
