RENEE BAKER'S MODERN BLACK MUSIC ENSEMBLE

Renee Baker's music, played by the MODERN BLACK MUSIC ENSEMBLE, a movable instrument ensemble as well as a fifth stream consciousness, demands to be heard in a new way.

Playing the parts by reading the horizontal line, painted and text scores, one is encouraged to allow all influences to seep into ones consciousness.

Dovetailing with the beginning of the computer age, her handwritten and hand painted scores are defiant and sacrilegious in the way they make performers stop, stay with each note, each phrase, each module, allowing every soundscape to develop and become more.

While creating unexpected characters and dialogue with her sound scores, there is no distinguishable decision between her visual and audio worlds. The association of these influences change the viewers access point to any soundscape. Having developed her system of CCL: CIPHER CONDUIT LINGUISTICS, In her music, this direction is called music hermeneutics — the science of understanding the meaning and explaining the figurative and semantic concepts and gestures of composition and interpretation of musical information.

The listener has to reset old notions as to what notes and sounds actually are, what music really is.

They can, if they wish, take the notes apart like children take apart toys and put them back together again.

Her methodologies of composing and conducting demand the reordering of music listening.
