Musicians John Driscoll, Julie Schwartz, Steve Bloom (featured musician), and Phil Edelstein performed contemporary music improvisations (vocal and electronic).
Programs varied each night based on improvisation relationships with dancers and musicians.  Not all works were performed each evening.  For example, Julie Schwartz performed Chanting on Thursday and a work titled, Homespun on Friday that included Marlene Elbin, Dee Kohanna, and Pnumeral Rain Coast musicians without dancers.
Scripts for each improvisation are established in advance.  The approach considers the works as instant choreography with attention to planned structures and style.
