"DIRT" - OUT OF CONTEXT

The Out of Context Ensemble was founded by Dino J.A. Deane in 1997
after working with Butch Morris as a conduction musician for 12 years. Conduction is a vocabulary of signs and gestures transmitted by a
conductor to an orchestra providing instantaneous possibilities for
altering or initiating harmony, melody, rhythm, articulation, phrasing or form.
Attributed largely to the work of Butch Morris, Morris himself cites an early substitution for musical notation called chironomy, dating from1500 B.C.

Deane's goal in founding the ensemble was to have no goal.
His intention was to work with a group slowly over time
to allow the ensemble to develop a deep understanding and skill
with this revolutionary way of creating music.

Over the course of 11 years of continual development, the ensemble has
realized a real-time score to the classic 1932 silent film Peter Pan,
a concert at the Georgia OKeeffe museum
playing the photographs of Edward Weston,
a concert playing the book 1 = 25 Miles, by Sumner Carnahan,
a score for the film The Burden Carriers, by Pierre Barrera
and a theatrical score for Theater Grottesco's Wenomadmen.
OOC has appeared at the High Mayhem Festival 3 times,
has released 4 critically acclaimed CDs
and contributed several new signs and gestures to the Conduction Lexicon.
