Active between 2016 and 2019, the SQUEE! Collective consisted of three musicians: Rob Jones (saxophone, piano), James Alexandropoulos - McEwan (electric guitar), and Annick Odom (clarinet, double bass). A flexible, “ambient chamber glitch group”, SQUEE! is a collaboration between three composer/performers who met while studying at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. The ensemble strived to create a musical world that lies between the diverse backgrounds of all the players, in performing pieces that are composed collectively, which include notated, aleatoric and improvised elements.
