“Improvisation 2020-11-09” is a freely improvised piece created by Matt Hannafin (percussion) at home in Portland, Oregon, USA, on November 9, 2020, during month nine of the covid-19 lockdown.

“The piece manifested due to a series of happy coincidences: My wife and daughter left the house for a masked walk in the late-fall colors, my son was absorbed in a video game, and my little terrier dog was on a break from barking at the world. I had just enough time to run down to my studio, turn on the recorder, and play. Thirty seconds after the piece ended, the dog barked.”

The Extradition Social Distancing Project is a way of keeping people together while we have to be apart. Conceived during the first weeks of public U.S. response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the project replaces the Extradition Series’ regular concert programming with performances recorded by individual musicians in their homes or other places of isolation, as well as asynchronous distance collaborations.

Extradition is an experimental music series presenting concerts and recitals that exist at the intersection of composition and improvisation, intentionality and chance, clarity and silence. [ Ссылка ]. The series is a programming arm of Portland’s Creative Music Guild ([ Ссылка ])
