Mark Wastell’s long-standing metamorphic large ensemble The
Seen makes a very welcome return to the gallery.
“It is the changeable aspect of the group that attracts its
members. In varying the framework of ensemble size, mixture of acoustic and
electronic instrumentation, and various pairings and contrasts of instruments
and musicians, Wastell sets up active playing environments that both challenge
the members to consider how to engage, while encouraging them to bear in mind
the overall group sound. He acts more as instigator than leader, providing the
simplest of instructions such as a sub-grouping to begin the piece or what
order musicians are to enter and places full trust in the ensemble from there.”
(Michael Rosenstein)
