In 2016, the Creaking Breeze ensemble was formed around the writing, voice and conductorial steering of Nathaniel Mackey. The group - Seymour Wright, Paul Abbott, Evie Ward, Ute Kanngießer and Billy Steiger - was joined by Mackey for a residency at Cafe OTO in 2019, where they performed two long songs over two nights. The resulting recordings were released by Fonograf Editions as Fugitive Equation.
To mark the87press’s release of all five volumes of From a Broken Bottle Traces of Perfume Still Emanate, the group will reconvene as a trio of Wright, Abbott and Steiger, revisiting the music and ideas of the series' fictional inhabitants.
This trio is called Braze_____Braise.
Paul Abbott / acoustic drums, synthetic sounds
Billy Steiger / violin, piano
Seymour Wright / alto saxophone
