DESCRIPTION:Michael Moore [https://splendoramsterdam.com/en/musicians/micha
	el-moore]\npresents:Cluster Formation plays music by composer Anthony Brax
	ton // Miniatures\nfor solo piano\n\nCluster Formation is a project that t
	akes the universe of Anthony Braxton and\nhis “Creative Music” as a starti
	ng point for semi-improvised and experimental\nmusic.\n\nAfter studying An
	thony Braxton’s extensive body of work\, this quartet offers its\nown inte
	rpretation of his music. Composer and improviser Anthony Braxton\, born\ni
	n Chicago\, allows for a free interpretation of his work\, despite the pre
	sence\nof a large number of written notes. For example\, he allows perform
	ers to jump\nfrom one composition to another and to improvise freely.\n\nT
	he quartet Cluster Formation consists of Vera Morais (voice)\, Isa Schoute
	n\n(cello)\, Bernardo Cruz (percussion/piano)\, and Hristo Goleminov (teno
	r\nsaxophone). Based in Amsterdam and Cologne\, they bring together elemen
	ts of\ncontemporary and improvised music through their diverse musical bac
	kgrounds.\nThey experiment with and explore Braxton’s numerous composition
	s and musical\ninstructions\, offering new interpretations and perspective
	s on the work of this\neclectic composer.\n\nSin Palabras\n[https://sinpal
	abras2.bandcamp.com/album/sin-palabras-8-miniaturen]. Improvised\nsongs wi
	thout words. Pianist Albert van Veenendaal: "The title refers back to\none
	 of my earliest compositions. I was walking through Madrid when I saw 'no 
	hay\npalabras palomita mía' scrawled in white letters across a blank wall.
	 That\ntender text\, 'I have no words for it\, my darling'\, has stayed wi
	th me\, and it\nforms the guiding thread for this solo concert that tells 
	a story."\n\nIsa Schouten - cello\nVera Morais - voice\nBernardo Cruz [htt
