Composer/Performer Zeena Parkins announces the release of two multi-part compositions, inspired by discoveries she made combing through the Walter Benjamin archives in Berlin. “Past Turned Space” features virtuoso players William Winant/percussion and Brett Carson/keyboards navigating a set of vignettes, flickering in response to Benjamin’s intimate descriptions of childhood memories. “Dam Against the Spring Tide” is graced with an all-star band of composer/performers, including: Zeena Parkins/acoustic harp and electronics, Magda Mayas/prepared keyboards, Tony Buck/percussion, Laurent Bruttin/clarinets, Christian Kesten/voice, Matty Ostrowski/electronics, and special guest, Sebastian Roux/processing. All of these pieces reveal how colors, shapes, codes, scribbles, erasures, puzzles, wordplay, graphology, and imitation as a way of knowing, can be used to initiate musical processes, playing strategies, conversations and ultimately scores.
