The Tonal Refraction Ensemble aspires to play as teenagers and adult amateurs do, tasting one tone at a time. 

 

This approach is the basis of Tonal Refraction, an alternative notation in which color expresses the taste factor missing from standard notation. 

The result is dynamic interaction, closer to the point than "interpretation."
