This musical project seeks to explore liminal spaces: that space at the threshold of profound change; the state of suspension between the death of what was, and the birth of what will be -- or could be.
Combining an improvisational chamber ensemble with strings, Liminality weaves together jazz, fusion, and world beats with chamber and orchestral elements. The music ranges from strictly composed to purely improvisational. Textures range from the power of the full ensemble with chamber string orchestra to the delicacies of solo and duet performances. At times the music floats in ethereal spaces; at other times it is rhythmically driving, anchored by American, Indian, and Afro-Cuban influences.

about
Set to the poem To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing, by W.B. Yeats.
lyrics
Now all the truth is out,
Be secret, and take defeat
From any brazen throat.
For how can you compete,
Being honor bred, with
One who, were it proved, he lied,
Were neither shamed in his own, nor
In his neighbor’s eyes?
Bred to a harder thing than Triumph,
Be true and turn away.
And like a laughing string
Whereon mad fingers play.
Amid a place of stone,
Be secret and exult.
Because of all things known,
That is most difficult.
