Show Notes

In episode 12 of B:jazz, I talk to composer and improvising drummer Max Andrzejewski. We discuss the role of balancing his personal voice on drums in ensemble contexts where he is also the composer, his individual and collaborative work with video and video artists, and combining and managing freedom with improvisors in ensembles. As a composer working across multiple stylistic and professional contexts, we also talk about working with music, stories and text from cultures outside of our own, the work of canonised problematic composers, writing for soloists, as well as his work in theatre productions.
