'Butch' Morris"The Lexicon of hand directives of Butch Morris - signs and gestures devised and refined for creative compositional utilization in group improvisations... Here there are no staffs to read, no keys to know, no meters to count, but instead a stimulating new mindset to adopt… Morris hoped Conduction would be a practice freely shared and widely adopted for its value as an instrument of musical investigation and experimentation.” Lisa Cay Miller intends to lead the nummena orchestra in that spirit of generosity and intent.
