Green Dome is a dynamic trio comprising Zeena Parkins (harp), Ryan Sawyer (percussion) & Ryan Ross Smith (piano & electronics). With each member bringing serious cross-genre chops to the proceedings, Thinking In Stitches seamlessly incorporates influences from rock, noise, jazz, and every experimental thread in between. Parkins, called “one of the most compelling performers in the downtown music community” by The New Yorker, has collaborated with everyone from Björk to Matmos, Kim Gordon to Anthony Braxton. Here, she is joined by superstar percussionist Ryan Sawyer (whose own credits include TV On the Radio and The Mekons, among many others) and acclaimed experimental electronic composer Ryan Ross Smith.

WEB | FLAC (tracks) - 262 MB | 45:33
Genre: Classical | Label: Neos

Recorded and originally released in 1996, Rheo-Umbra is a two-part composition by Elliott Sharp for a typically bizarre ensemble consisting of electric harp, electric bass, two bass clarinets, percussion, sampler, string quartet, and electric guitar (along with the Slab, a somewhat guitarish instrument invented by Sharp himself). The first six minutes of "Rheo-Umbra 1" are built on a repetitive theme that is carried by the string quartet and muttered about, commented upon, subtly undermined and sometimes supported by the others.

Abstract / Experimental

Though Björk has written music for films before, her collaboration with Matthew Barney on Drawing Restraint 9 is a much deeper and more natural pairing, which makes sense, considering that they're partners in life (and now in art). Björk's pieces for the film reflect its fusions of the contemporary with the ancient, and the organic with the technological – themes that she has dealt with in her own work, especially on later albums like Medúlla…

What is the experience of being in transit? Separated from your home but not yet at your destination, you are neither here nor there, confined with strangers in an intimate environment for a predetermined amount of time. Uncomfortable, yet somehow free. To travel is to be bound with these strangers by faith—faith in the vessel which carries you, faith in the people who operate it, and ultimately, faith in the strangers waiting at your destination.
