Columbia Icefield is music that attempts to balance opposites: lyricism and spiky dissonance, highly personal improvisation with a defined compositional sound world, and a still minimalism with a spontaneously ecstatic quality. Inspired by the difficult quiet of the location that gives this band its name, Columbia Icefield will work through a new set of compositions and improvisations that move each player in a new direction, toward stillness.
Columbia Icefield was performed at False Harmonics which is a monthly series of new music meant to explore alternative approaches to composition, improvisation, and performance.
