about
Reprinted from Two Rooms Records:
SCALE, addresses issues of observation, embodied transferences, telepathy and duration employing swipes, knocks, resonators and hypnotic patternings on the acoustic harp with the less controllable sounds of radio waves, homemade synths and feedback.
Inspired by the timings and sensations of natural phenomena including daylight’s slow emergence at dawn and the pulsing ambiance of ocean currents. Nature as both utopic and disruptive. Attention is situated in an often luscious, contemplative sonic environment that shifts at varying rates from the imperceptible to sudden unexpected bursts. Co-authored by Parkins and Kolar, this piece was originally commissioned by choreographer Jennifer Monson for her work bend the even and performed live at the famed Chocolate Factory Theater in Queens, NY.
