The Make Project is a collaborative composition by Veryan Weston, Christine Duncan and Jean Martin, based on Weston’s original score “Tessellation IV (Make).” The composed material is based on fifty-two quotations by women writers, each sung on a five-note (pentatonic) scale. As the performance unfolds, each scale changes by one note when the word “make” is sung. It is a kind of ‘epic song’ that is animated by the whole ensemble both through interpretation and extended improvisation.
