Patterns From Nature
Quinsin Nachoff (saxophone), Matt Mitchell, Quatuor Molinari, Satoshi Takeishi, Carlo De Rosa, François Houle, Ryan Keberle
His new album is an enterprising synthesis of contemporary classical and improvisation and should prove curious to more genre-fluid listeners in both alt-jazz and contemporary classical camps.

About
Music, film, and physics converge in Patterns from Nature, unfolding through the dynamics of flow and fracture.
Conceived and directed by Brooklyn-based composer and saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff, the film was developed collaboratively with physicist Stephen Morris (Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto) and filmmakers Tina de Groot (Netherlands), Lee Hutzulak (Canada), Gita Blak (New York), and Udo Prinsen (Netherlands).
Inspired in part by the writing of science author Philip Ball, the film draws on Morris’s research into emergent patterns—not to illustrate scientific ideas, but to build an original artistic structure where sound, image, and concept carry equal weight.
