Alchemical Theatre unites Jim Staley (trombones), Ikue Mori (electronics), and John Zorn (alto saxophone) — three longtime collaborators and masters of improvisation — for an unpredictable and electrifying set. Recorded live at Roulette, the legendary New York performance space founded in 1978, the album flows through volatile contrasts, sudden shifts, and moments of shared intuition. Dedicated to the memory of avant-garde theatre visionary Richard Foreman, this session epitomizes the mercurial spirit of Downtown New York creativity: raw, playful, and fiercely imaginative.
