Dana Jessen and Taylor Brook

Bassoonist Dana Jessen and composer Taylor Brook team up for a
collaborative album length electro-acoustic work, Set, that
combines through composed (Songs) and improvised sections.





Much attention in the the composed sections is devoted to an
exploration of a range of extended techniques on the bassoon that
Jessen has cultivated.





The improvised sections are framed by guidelines and rules that
Brook provided and computer improvisation that accompanies the
instrumental soloist. In these ways, the boundaries between
composer and performer is blurred.
