The Tri-Centric Foundation is a not-for-profit organization which supports the work and legacy of living composer Anthony Braxton and the surrounding community of musicians. Tri-Centric has produced many performances by Anthony including two operas, runs the record label New Braxton House, provides scores and offers performance practice guidance to musicians, ensembles and educators around the world.

Equally important is our role as the keeper of Anthony Braxton's massive and growing archive which includes over 10,000 to 20,000 pieces of print material in the form of over 400 scores and parts, various writings, cassettes, videos, and ephemera. In recognition of our efforts, we received the support of the GRAMMY Museum® Grant Program in 2018 and CLIR Recordings at Risk Grant this year to digitize the audiovisual component of our archive.

But that only covers a fraction of the costs necessary to preserve and organize the archive.

In 2020, as part of Braxton75 and our efforts to make the Braxton archive more accessible, we plan to revise and re-publish the Tri-Axium Writings. We would like to release the writings in two formats, print and digital, and offer the download version as pay-what-you-want so that every friendly experiencer in the world can read it.

To do that, we need your help.

Your contribution will support the publication of Tri-Axium Writings but won't end there. It will be used toward preserving one of the most important archives of a living American composer. You will be helping current and future generations by providing affordable access to Anthony Braxton's philosophical writings. You will be supporting the future of creative music. Please donate today to the Braxton75 Living Archive Campaign!

"I believe the reality of commentary about creativity should give insight on more than just the surface specifics of the music but also its conceptual and philosophical implications - and this is what I have attempted in this series of writings. There are so many aspects of creative music that have been ignored in the last three hundred years that something must be done to review our present reality and vibrational position with composite information and composite information dynamics... I offer this book - and this series of books - as an attempt to begin re-examining the composite reality of creative music. " -   Anthony Braxton, from the introduction to Tri-Axium Writings
