Applicants may orient their auditions around their particular musical backgrounds. Eclectic or "open" improvisers will play an unaccompanied solo improvisation which consists of two parts: one will be without pulse and will display dynamics, density and registral variety; a second part will be pulse-based and will demonstrate solid sense of time. Such applicants will also play a collective free improvisation with one other musician who we will provide at the time of the audition. Applicants with jazz backgrounds can play a more jazz-oriented audition by playing 2-3 selections from the standard repertory. All applicants with original compositions are welcome to present these, either through live performance or accompanying CD or tape.
