An adhoc ensemble performs those pieces for the first time in front of an audience. Initially organized by Matt Mehlan and Doron Sadja as a benefit for Roulette in New York, ENE has featured: Christian Marclay, Pauline Oliveros, Robert Ashley, David Behrman, Darius Jones, Greg Saunier, Matana Roberts, Cory Archangel, Dan Deacon, Tyshawn Sorey, Duane Pitre, Catherine Lamb and many more. Recordings and information from previous iterations can be found here and here. This edition of Easy Not Easy, organized by Matt Mehlan, will celebrate the release of a limited edition book of Easy Not Easy scores - and brings the event to Chicago for the first time.
