Anthony Braxton Sonic Genome (6-8 hours event for sixty-plus performers)

The Sonic Genome is one of the most thrillingly ambitious experiments by musical visionary, saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton: less a concert than the creation of an interactive musical environment, almost an avant-garde theme-park for performers and listeners alike.
For 6 to 8 continuous hours, over 60 performers use the compositions and improvisational languages developed by Braxton through his 40 years of artistic investigation to create a living sound world. The Ghost Trance Music that has been Braxton's primary compositional focus for the past 2 decades serves as the connecting principle for the musical structure.
The musicians can move in a big space (large hall, museum with several rooms, library, factory/shed etc.) as a music cells (little ensembles) that change time by time, or individually from an ensemble to another. Ensembles form and split apart like cells dividing and reforming into new organisms; likewise, the members of the audience are invited to be active participants, choosing who and what to listen to as they move about the space and between the music cells. All of this involved the audience showing in the hearth of creative production and dip it in a strong way.
