OCTET
A new ensemble called Octet was recently established. Octet's instrumentation (reeds, trumpet, trombone, 2 keybaords, bass, drums, vocals) is essentially a big band scaled down that plays classical. Arrangements for Octet include suites from film scores Fate of the Lhapa and, When Medicine Got it Wrong as well as the song cycles Scatter My Ashes and, Moving in to an Empty Space. An octet version of the film score to Native New Yorker - WINNER / Tribeca Film Festival / Best Documentary Short - was created for live performance with the film.
