Kyle Stant (Flute, Fajra)
“..Most of my work focuses on blending my expression with the full sound entering my ears in the present moment. Very deep listening matching pitch and rhythm with “noise,” pulling music out of noise, balancing and nestling as deep as possible in the line between noise and music. The Abstract contains all representations/possibilities. More difficult to work with, but containing far more potential for vividity, profundity, power…when fully grasped.”
