Composer, harpist, improviser, and educator Zeena Parkins has been a mainstay of the Downtown scene since 1984, performing with Fred Frith, John Zorn, Bjork, Ikue Mori, Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros, and countless others. Her newest project, years in the making, pays tribute to the fearless American visual artist Jay DeFeo. Zeena captures DeFeos bold experimentalism and love of beauty with a lush, exotic extended work for harp and percussion. Performing with her on a unique instru-ment built by legendary composer Lou Harrison is her close collaborator William Winant. One of Zeenas most important and compelling releases, this is a major composition by a pioneering harpist/composer who still surprises after forty years of groundbreaking work!
