The legendary Alchemia Club in Krakow (Poland) has played and continues to play
host to musicians worldwide to present their musical ideas.

In recent years Barry Guy had the pleasure to prepare large ensemble projects there during the daylight hours, whilst the evening has given way to small formations from within the big band  that, in a way, expose the heart and soul of the group, an ontological musical debate that informed the total experience of our work together.
Tensegrity represents the summation of three evening performances, where regular but most often new alliances came together for creative evocations in an  uncharted musical landscape.  To my ears these experiences in turn informed the Première performance of  “The Blue Shroud” at the end of our residency where a unified sense of purpose provided the listener with an especially emotional focus.
