MUSICÂ PROJECTS
URC PERCUSSION PROJECT
Justine Bristow - Flute, Stick Drums, Gankogui & GongÂ
Nick Townsend - Conga
These demo recordings are samples taken from improvised sessions on drum and guideline instruments. Improvised flute was then added as a second layer. This is a good example of how one can simultaneously practice and compose with the principles of URC. Working within the URC training principles; composition / improvisation, technique development and meditation become one wholistic experience.
FLUTE COMPOSITIONS
Flute compositions for solo flute, flute & piano, flute & guitar, composed by Justine Bristow. The compositional method used was improvisation over a reoccurring bass line or harmonic progression. Justine brings together her classical flute performance background with URC; combining rational knowledge with rhythmic entrainment.
FLUTE PERFORMANCES
Justine has performed classical flute as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral player. Here are some snippets of various performances...
THE ANARIS SYMPHONIC RHYTHM PROJECT
Composers Nick Townsend & Justine Bristow.
ANARIS is an acronym for "Awareness through Neuro Activation of Rhythmic Intelligence in Simultaneity". The processes in URC were used as a primary focus for orchestral composition. Rather than starting a composition from a melodic and harmonic foundation, the music came together by using the principle's of polyrhythm, cross rhythm, simultaneity and synchronization to trigger an endless flow of musical creativity.
