This improvisation was part of a live performance with accordionist, Karin Fleck, of improvisations, compositions and transcriptions. I play flugelhorn and trumpet.
The concert was in the St. Michaels-Kapelle (Alten Friedhof) in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. The concert was one of three concerts I put on under the title, 'due e due e due' in 2022, to raise money for the German Cancer Relief organisation, 'Deutsche Krebshilfe'.

“Streaming” presents a serene array of pools, each containing suspended quantities of crystalline particles. Global tempo composites equate to relative fluid motion, influencing local activity, while arrangement is held in stasis”.

Composers’ Note:
Whilst streaming is full of cross references, development and variants of its material held together by a fabric of rhythmic units permeating
the work as a whole, it was concieved and should be performed as a stream of consiousness; a single, uninterrupted flow of ideas constantly
in a state of flux and regeneration; detailed, colourful and frequetly energetic and explosive.

Marc Yeats

“Today, received “Streaming” for Kingma System quartertone alto flute by Marc Yeats. A massive 20< minute energy field. What a terrifying talent this man has. Effortless. Unreal.

Such a distinct honor.”

Carlton Vickers
