back to JONAS

Rrake is Chris Jonas' latest Santa Fe ensemble project, mixing composition, conduction and improvisation via the superimposition of long complex melodic lines atop at least two layers of conflicting asymmetrical block rhythms. Drawing from a diverse set of musical sources and the rhythmic polyphony of non musical sources such as trash trucks, building sites, automobile factories and commercial aircraft, Rrake engages an aesthetic of combined visceral jarring trance rhythmic unison, complex ambience, and non-resolvable linear melodic structures.

Jonas has explored similar regions in his many conduction and composition projects over the past ten years in NYC, New Mexico and as guest conductor for creative ensembles internationally.
