"Enter/ Exit", recipient of the 2005 Alcan Arts Award, was an eclectic evening of funk grooves, experimental music, dance and film.
The goal of this 11-piece ensemble was to have a mix of virtuoso classical musicians and jazz improvisors. "Four Notes" was my attempt to create an entire composition using only four notes, and was inspired by the music of the Dutch minimalists of 1980's.
