"In addition to my large catalogue of completely composed pieces written for orchestras and chamber music ensembles, I have many compositions that have been notated and were intended to be played solo or with small improvising ensembles. Some of these works are simply charts with just a few performing directions. I like to work with these more open forms in order to bring out the best in my own playing as well as that of my collaborators, freeing up our abilities to improvise in diverse ways and for the music to exist in the 'present moment'. The music might encompass Asian, African, Western classical, jazz or other aesthetics as Tracy and Gyan have the ability and awareness to shift genres as the music calls for it. The 3 Generations Trio is one of my favourite ensembles because of the basic layers of violin, guitar and piano give a wonderful sonic transparency. There is a resonant composite sound coming from the individual strands of violin, guitar and piano that spontaneously emerge to generate a unique fabric. The addition of the Indian style vocals have allowed us to explore musical avenues nourished by the ancient rivers of North Indian ragas." Terry Riley (October 2015)
