Highlights
from our unique repertoire:
"Hafiz" an
award-winning female magician recites a suite of 15th-century
Sufi poetry while performing enchanting sleight-of-hand magic
effects that amplify the text all of which accompanied
by a moving jazz chamber score...
Jaco a dazzling
vocal feature that summons the spirit of the legendary bassist
Jaco Pastorius, in which fretless electric bass, drum set, and
world percussion are consummately vocalized joined by the
rapid-fire cued interplay of dumbek, tambourine, and shaker
"Rasa and Her Moods"
traditional North Indian hues (tabla, tamboura, harmonium,
voice) are masterfully meshed with Western colors (piano, organ,
tenor sax, electric bass, drum set, sampled sound effects) in
a burning fusion outing...
"Balafon"
a Guinean marimba is teamed up with vibes, soprano
sax, tabla, percussion, and upright bass to bring Afro-Cuban and
West African styles into a fascinating canonic jaunt...
"Germ-Line Genetics"
this multi-movement, programmatic suite takes on the all-too-possible
dangers of genetic research and incorporates an arsenal of electronic
and extended acoustic instruments to illuminate this Brave New
World...
