Presenting new work for our Grásta series by the poet Marie Howe, set to a score by National Sawdust's Paola Prestini and performed by Howe, guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalist and director Yuka C. Honda, and cellist Jeffrey Zeigler.
An empty swimming pool. A car garage. A child sitting alone on a beach. A man approaches and they set off on a journey, driving through the Irish landscape of green parks and stunted suburbs. A herd of deer graze in the space between them with their antlers peeling away. It’s a shedding to transform into something new: a time of renewal. There is an unsettled empty space that hangs between them. Will they continue on the road together or separate.
Singer-songwriter Adrian Crowley recounts his sweltering 2017 SongLives concert at Irish Arts Center, and introduces the piece "Halfway to Andalucia" from the night. Written and performed here with pianist Thomas Bartlett.
Configurations and inspections and punch lists, oh my!
