Anthony Braxton and some of his long-time collaborators will discuss the basic principles behind the Tri-Centric music system which Braxton has spent the last five decades developing. Describing his work as ‘navigation through form’, Braxton’s revolutionary approach combines composition, improvisation, and intuition in a constantly evolving musical world that has inspired and influenced generations of musicians and creative thinkers worldwide.
