50 Musicians – woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion: Go: Organic Orchestra blends improv and composition, orchestral robustness and globally informed grooves, in an ever shifting ensemble led by Adam Rudolph.
Unique in the realm of approaches to improvisational conducting, Organic Orchestra utilizes a composed non-linear score consisting of sound and motion elements. These include tone rows, synthetic scales, melodies, linguistic shapes, intervallic patterns, textural gestures, modes, ragas, maqams, and plainchant. The score serves to provide material for both the improvisations and the orchestrations. Motion and forms and are generated through the application of the composer’s rhythm concept “Cyclic Verticalism” whereby polymeters are combined with additive rhythm cycles.

The musicians will start with a part called Chahar Mezrab which is a fast short rhythmic piece. Then based on the mode, they will go through several Goushehs, sometimes with singing and sometimes instrumental as well as other rhythmic pieces.
