I følge en pressemelding fra Tri-Centric Foundation og Firehouse 12 Records, vil det den 1. april komme tre boks-sett med Braxton den 1. april. I følge presseskrivet, vil det være «from a wild reinvention of post-Wagnerian opera: «Trillium J (The Non-Unconfessionables)» to a heartfelt tribute to an improvisatory hero: «Quintet (Tristano) 2014»—to a multi-dimensional, fully immersive electro-acoustic sound environment: «3 Compositions (EEMHM) 2011».
Hver av de tre boksene vil vise tre forskjellige sider ved Braxtons stadige utvikling og eksperimentering, hvor det er viktig å utfordre lytteren, å gjøre lytteren til en aktiv deltager i musikken i stedet for en passiv lytter.
I forbindelse med utgivelsene, vil Braxton gjøre noen sjeldne konserter under The Big Ears Festival i Knoxville, Tennesie, med hans 10+1tet 1. april og med sin trio den 2. april.
De tre boksene vil inneholde følgende:
