* Breath and Specter- Braxton's Ghost Trance Music

There is no telling what is going to happen, what plans might be hatched, traps sprung, dramas unfolded. I wish to feel as though we are all carried away into a world with no end, where a note is an eternity, where we go through countless eternities, where we rise to the heavens as the earth swallows and remakes itself.
Anthony Braxton, titan of creative music, NEA jazz master, and aficionado of mess and metaphysical vibrational dynamics, is the spark for this particular fire.
In the 90's he wrote his Ghost Trance Music system, as a way to generate roads through which one can visit all his different musical worlds from operas to pure rhythmic interplay. Its democratic structure allows for any player to play any piece within the framework that he sets out, musicians can form groups of their own will, defect, overtly signal to each other.
