This exciting and innovative project, curated by Mark Garry, brought together a remarkably talented group of musicians from several different countries, and with a broad range of musical genres and interests, many of whom had never met or played with each other. Over a period of 16 days in July 2010, the Mattress Factory converted the 4th floor of the museum into a practice area and fully functioning recording studio in which to collaborate. The residency culminated in a live performance of the music created during this time, and in July 2012 the full-length album, A Generous Act was released.
