Call for sounds!

Trouble Ensemble is expanding our musical conversation! We invite anyone who feels inspired to submit their own sounds to be mixed into a new sonic dialogue collage, based on the spiritual “Amen.” Any sound, any instrument/voice type is welcome!

Simply play the “Main” track in headphones, while improvising, and record the improvisation. **Make sure to play a sound on the DOWNBEAT (the first beat after I say “four”) so that we can properly align your sounds!

Alternatively, you can also improvise with the “Full” track, and offer some background sounds for the vocals, and/or your own vocal improvisation.

If you would like more musical/textual information, download this PDF for a lead sheet!

Please submit your sounds by May 29, 2020 to AndrewBarnesJam@gmail.com! (You may submit any questions to the same email address.)

We look forward to creating with you!!!

Main “AMEN” track for improvising
