September 8: JACK Quartet performs Korean-American composer/cellist Ha-Yang Kim’s recently revised epic opus, Threadsuns, a 40+ minute work inspired by the cryptic mystical poetry of Paul Celan. In addition, Kim performs amplified cello, field recordings and electronics which explores the live intersection of hybrid acoustic and synthetic sound sources.
September 10 & 11: JACK Quartet is back at Roulette, this time joining forces with Ne(x)tworks Ensemble for two performances of composer, multi-instrumentalist, and electric harp pioneer Zeena Parkins’ Spellbeamed. Commissioned by Ne(x)tworks, Spellbeamed takes inspiration from literary critic Walter Benjamin’s Archive, a published trove of images, texts, and ephemera collected by the author. For Parkins’ new composition, quotidian materials collected by each musician are utilized to form an animated score developed in collaboration with visual artist Cynthia Madansky.
