Steve Smith: Choreography In Six

Filmed at the Sonor Factory in September 2023, this piece of music was written by Manuel Valera and me. The entire piece is in 6/4 with many sections, some of which have challenging rhythmic twists and turns. Janek Gwizdala solos on electric bass and there is a short drum feature before Manuel’s piano solo. We recorded the piece for the Vital Information album TIME FLIES.
