“The shortest distance from one point to another may be a straight line, but in the land of One Inch equals 25 Miles strict linearity is never an option....Deane steers his Out of Context ensemble along a meandering, winding path full of twists, turns and sudden surprises.” – David Prince

For the past seven years the Out of Context Ensemble has explored the challenging world of spontaneous group composition, often called “conduction”. Using a vocabulary of simple signs and hand gestures which control performance elements such as loud or soft, who performs at a given time, or changes in tempo and rhythm style, this amazing ensemble continues to blur the line between composition and improvisation. Out of Context creates breath-taking music, completely in the moment.

One inch = 25 miles is musical interpretation of Sumner Carnahan's book by the same name. J.A Deane collected and recorded samples of every word of Sumner's book and twisted them into a beautiful musical performance by Out of Context, recorded live at the Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque, NM.
