Suite is a collaboration created in September 2017 between guitarist Marco Papa and clarinettist AnnaMarie Ignarro. Both musicians explore the worlds of improvised music and the avant-garde. This project unites original compositions and sections of improvisation, called Abstracts, allowing the music to develop itself in a continuum of about 40 minutes. The four compositions in the order one hears them are as follows: A Glimpse of Reality, Secret Window, A Reflection of Honesty and Why are you Running to Nowhere?. They capture moments and pose introspective questions concerning being human and their corresponding behaviours. The abstracts however, are concepts developed through the parameters of musicality, timbre and texture.
