Lex Leto x Christine Burke Ensemble merges the tuneful melodies of Lex Leto with the experimental music practice of the Christine Burke Ensemble, a group of like-minded, Iowa-based composer-performers. Their sextet of flute, clarinet/organ, saxophone, bassoon, melodica, and voice/drum/guitar sounds anywhere from warm and conversational to strident and antagonistic. This range of sound combined with the group’s natural inclination towards noise and good-natured goofing around results in a music-making approach that values structured improvisation, aleatory, and collaboration.

Performed by Lex Leto, Christine Burke, Justin Comer, Ramin Roshandel, Laura Canelo-Cohen, Caleb Estrada-Valentín, Gabi Vanek, Keegan, Hockett
Recorded at Flat Black, the Vault, and in Iowa City by Luke Tweedy, Dan Miller, and Ramin Roshandel
