A spectacular collection of musicians from all over the map,
including Leo Smith, Joan La Barbara, Mark Feldman, Morton
Subotnick and Merzbow perform dynamic interpretations of
compositions by one of America's greatest musical
experimentalists. Influenced by the work of Jackson Pollock
and Alexander Calder, Brown pioneered graphic, improvisational
and open form scores in contemporary concert music as early as
1952. This heartfelt tribute, organized by the Earle Brown
Foundation to commemorate Brown's 80th birthday, brings
together musicians and ensembles from rock, jazz and classical
backgrounds in exciting and varied realizations of Brown's
groundbreaking open form work, Folio and Four Systems.
