Kamasi Washington - Harmony of Difference

Harmony of Difference explores the philosophical possibilities of the musical technique known as "counterpoint," which Washington defines as "the art of balancing similarity and difference to create harmony between separate melodies."

Washington's suite includes visual elements married to the musical works and draws voraciously on jazz for it's foundation. Each of the first five movements is it's own unique composition. "Truth," the sixth movement, fuses all five compositions into one simultaneous performance.
