CONFLAGRATION premiere - October 3, 2025

this is a dynamic confrontation between two groups - group 1 plays, group 2 interupts, and on we go from there, with the appearance of a 13th player holding 2 low deep bells taking his/her time to play in the moment at the very end to finish things off -

 

keep things aggressive throughout, and fairly loud too - (somewhere between mf and ff, depending on the energy of the players - and perhaps how un-self-conciously competitive they feel ... )
