Driftwood Box Puzzle mixes structured improvisatory musical figures with strictly notated sections to create contrasting textures juxtaposed with one another. The resulting form of such interactions may be analogous to a labyrinthine kind of musical game in which the instruments and electronics wind around each other in order to find a “way out.” This work is recorded by saxophonist Richard Schwartz and myself on piano on the forthcoming Centaur release entitled Embers (CRC 3385).
