Treesearch @ Outpost 186

As the name suggests, Treesearch was born out of our shared desire to explore the expressive capacities of our instruments (both made from trees), in a way that moves beyond common conventions of musical genre and discipline. We are situated between contemporary concert music, contemporary jazz, and free improvisation, while maintaining the rhythmic drive of jazz-based musics. Beyond this, the guiding tenets of our group are the intimate and conscientious sociability of chamber music, an embrace of the heterogeneity of present musics, and an inquisitive and open ear for musics of the future.
