Cooke Quintet performs Chain of Existence part 1, 2 & 3 Live

Chain of Existence (An Event Sequence) Live at Old 1st Concerts on 8/10/2007.

Event I: Primordial
interlude
Event II: Momentum

Life is an inexplicable and humbling chain of events. This piece, a "chain" of sorts, reflects three significant personal events connected together by two interludes. I hope the music, without my having to "explain" it, can illustrate the extent these events made an impression on me. The first event has a primitive, or nascent, feel to it, where one can hear cajon and didgeridoo. The next event is an "energy piece" based on a simple melody. The last event is a solemn invocation where the tenor speaks to memories of the past. This suite was originally recorded on "an indefinite suspension of the possible" available from Black Hat Records.
