#931980 JOSH MILLER / Ouchita /  SONGS FROM THE ROAD CS100 (11/29)

“What you’ll hear is at once wholly improvised yet compositional. These are not
compositions in the common sense of the word, but not not them either. Rather, these
pieces are really that: pieces of something hewn from a more encompassing musical
practice, gathered in composite forms. 
 
Brought together in a musicianship accustomed to the tipping velocity of
extemporization, these improvisations merge sediments, from which arises a ceaseless
and nuanced conversation with the possibilities of form. One hears T.J. hearing form
from different distances. At times circumspectly coaxing it forward, how much he doesn’t
play is just as audible as what does actually sound. We hear him considering possibilities
in the moment that they are passed over. Or, form is all immersive, creating an
unbelievable symbiosis of musical form and physical form. One follows from the other–
actions at the cello hone the ear to arising material phenomenon, which attunes the body
to hold on to them. Attuned to the materiality of the cello, and the musical potential latent
therein, T.J.’s freewheeling imagination holds court in simultaneity.” -Madison Greenstone
