Tribeca New Music 2013 Festival
"Three Times One Minus One"
a world premiere for piano, electric guitar, & pre-recorded track
performed by Kathleen Supove & James Moore's new duo
A Musical Sacrifice
Program note: "This work began last year as a solo piece for Robert Fripp's Guitar Circle Course that was called Dude, Where's My Band? and its themes were elaborated on in further sketches until it earned the Beckettian working title of To Find a Form That Accommodates the Mess. A computer meltdown prevented that version's premiere so, it was shelved until another opportunity, this one in fact, would arise. When pressed for a title (for this almost unrecognizable variant) the name of the fictional R&B duo from HBO's Mr. Show seemed perfect for this finalized version for Supove & Moore plus track - Three Times One Minus One.'

What is The Orchestra Of Crafty Guitarists?
One possible answer is a lot of people making a lot of noise with guitars. Sometimes they even perform in public, as in Spain, Italy, Argentina, and in the USA, in places like Hadley, Boston, Seattle and New York City.
Another possible answer is a specialized study in the self-organizing properties of complex wholes. How does Intelligence act in and through many individuals, coming together as one? What if a high level of Conscious or Creative Intelligence needed to enter this world, what kind of body or vehicle would it need?
The global challenges we face, to be addressed by current and following generations, are beyond the capacity of individuals to meet. Solutions are more likely to be found in groups and networks than in the efforts of individuals acting alone.
The quality of solution required, to problems now of global proportion, is creative; that is, at the level of genius. The solitary, individual genius is, by definition, solitary and individual. The question, then, is how may we cultivate and develop group genius?
Come share in the spectacle that is the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists!

"CRANBERRY SOURCE"
Cranberry Source, a set of variations for chamber orchestra & rock band, celebrates the Beatles' 1967 landmark 45 RPM single "Strawberry Fields Forever."
This project imagines a set of interconnected musical miniatures as heard through the original's unique instrumentation, musical forces that combined successfully, and arguably for the first time, the fields of popular, classical, and world music.
That instrumentation, as orchestrated by Beatles' producer George Martin for the original recording, consists of: 4 trumpets, 2 electric guitars, swarmandel (an Indian zither), piano, mellotron (flutes), timpani, guiro, maracas, tambourine, 3 celli, electric bass guitar, drum kit, and of course, vocals.
