Since 1990, the Interpretations series has been developing “a community of experimental composers, their virtuoso interpreters, and an adventurous and supportive audience.” Over the past quarter-century, Interpretations has presented such avant-garde composers and musicians as Morton Subotnick, Anthony Braxton, Thomas Buckner, La Monte Young, Michiko Akao, Robert Ashley, Roscoe Mitchell, Fred Ho, and the FLUX Quartet. On December 11 at 8:00, the twenty-sixth Interpretations season continues at Roulette in Brooklyn with the trio of pianist and processor Chris Brown, alto saxophonist, clarinetist, and flutist Frank Gratkowski (whose name has been consistently misspelled as “Gratowsky” on both the Roulette and Interpretations websites), and percussionist William Winant, who specialize in creating unique, improvisational sound environments. In addition, New York-based English composer, multimedia artist, and culinarian Fast Forward (aka Paul Wilson) will present “10,” a work for ten musicians playing ten different instruments performing ten separate pieces, featuring Gelsey Bell, Tom Chiu, Chris Cochrane, Michael Evans, Miguel Frasconi, David Freeman, Grady Gerbracht, Gisburg, Dave Ruder, and Aliza Simons.
