Redbird
 |
A kinder and gentler Zorn, exploring a sound world not unlike those pioneered by composers Giacinto Scelsi, Morton Feldman and Olivier Messiaen. Acoustic, minimal/ambient music of unusual subtlety and beauty, inspired by, and dedicated to the work of artist Agnes Martin. Redbird, a hypnotic work for harp, violin, cello and percussion mirrors the detailed and complex painting for which it is named, as a series of chords are ordered and reordered, creating a play of memory and surprise that will leave the listener in a sensual reverie. It's difficult to believe that Dark River for four bass drums is actually acoustic music; the interplay of sonorities reminds one more of tape manipulation or the electronic beating of underwater sonar.Personnel:Carol Emanuel: HarpErik Friedlander: CelloJill Jaffe: ViolaJim Pugliese: Bass Drums, Percussion Only $11.98 - Click here to buy now! |

REDBIRD is both the name of an album and a loose affiliation of three of our favorite songwriters KRIS DELMHORST, JEFFREY FOUCAULT, and PETER MULVEY. After spending 3 weeks touring the UK together a couple of years ago, they decided to make a record. In keeping with the spontaneous nature of their original sessions, they did it in a living room, around one microphone, in three days in August of 2003. What emerged is a love letter to the body of American song.. The bulk of the record speaks from the common tongue of music: traditional tunes, old jazz standards, country songs, and things that blur the line between those forms. There are a handful of songs by contemporary writers (Greg Brown, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Tom Waits) who are well entangled in the great briar patch of this music.
