#entrainments is the latest album from bassist and composer James Ilgenfritz. The album features his European quartet, consisting of Köln-based saxophonist Angelika Niescier and cellist Nathan Bontrager, and Zürich-based percussionist Gerry Hemingway. #entrainments presents the first documentation of Ilgenfritz's new series of #entrainments compositions, which draw primarily on jazz, contemporary classical, and conceptual art practices. This system of compositions de-couples structure and intuition in order to consider new relationships between form and content.Bringing influences from the AACM and the New York and European jazz and improvised music scenes together with concepts from conceptual art worlds associated with Fluxus, Marcel Duchamp, Lorna Simpson, David Hammons, and Charles Gaines, the #entrainments series deals with musical form in ways that can be restructured in live performance.1. #frontmatter2. #saladdays3. #scarequotes4. #omnibus5. #facepalm6. #dungeonmaster
