The Folding Space Conduction Ensemble invites you to witness an “open rehearsal” as we prepare for our debut performance at The Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque in April. We will start promptly at 2pm on March 9. 2873 All Trades Rd, Unit B. Santa Fe, NM. The 14-member ensemble features some of NM’s finest improvisors and is led by Carlos Santistevan. Carlos was gifted with a deep understanding of the Conduction Lexicon developed by Lawrence “Butch” Morris in his decade plus tenure playing in Out of Context under the direction of the late, great JA Dino Deane. The ensemble has been working for a full year to learn the lexicon and prepare for this performance. This show will mark the first time in over a decade, that a Conduction performance has occurred in NM. Come witness this revolutionary form of large ensemble group improvisation. Members of the ensemble include: Carlos Santistevan – conductor John Flax – text David Forlano – electronics/sampling Katie Harlow – cello Rosie Hutchison – violin Marya Errin Jones – vox/electronics Sean Kennedy – tuba Keely MacKey – cello Alex Neville – guitar Joseph Sabella – vibes Catherine Sikora – sax/flute Ben Tempchin – guitar Alicia Ultan – viola Milton Villarrubia III – drums/percussion.
