TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS

Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
TOE 110CD
"Having collaborated with artists ranging from Sonic Youth to Yoko Ono to Bjork, Zeena Parkins proves it: The classical harp is really a rock 'n' roll instrument. Forget angelic choirs; Zeena is the Jimi Hendrix of the amplified harp. With more soar, shimmer, screech, whine and wail than ever before, her new album,
Between the Whiles
, hurls wildly into oscillating soundscapes, showcasing her artistic vision and technical versatility. The sonic scope is immense, and there's a lot to explore; dive deep, and you'll come up with some rare and eerie treasures. Liner notes by Terry de Castro of The Wedding Present."

Catalog #:
TOE 202CD
"Step right up and meet the astounding Zeena Parkins, the world's greatest electric harpist. Forget about angelic choirs; Zeena cites Jimi Hendrix as a major inspiration, and her harp work is similarly explosive, often blurring into fuzz-distorted terrain. Parkins is a lightning bolt of a performer, and a much sought after collaborator; she works frequently with Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Jim O'Rourke, has performed with Courtney Love and Yoko Ono, and has recorded extensively and toured the world several times with Icelandic avant-pop diva Björk. Recorded in 1992,
Nightmare Alley
was Zeena's first solo release and the first CD on Table Of The Elements. A hypnotic classic, it lures the listener into a parallel world of sensations, one that is disorienting and surreal, strangely pleasurable and more than a little dangerous. Step inside if you dare -- you won't believe your ears!"

"A product of over three years of work,
Pan-Acousticon
is Zeena Parkins' most important and intriguing work to date, orchestrating sampling noise, classical strings, rock drums and homemade instruments into a new world of color, shape and texture. Co-produced by long-term collaborator Elliott Sharp, this beautiful and varied collection of experimental music is both powerful and touching."

Latest album of composed material features her Gangster Band: Z. Parkins (electric harp, sampler, harp), Sara Parkins (violin), Maggie Parkins (cello, voice), Jim Pugliese (drums, vibes), Mark Stewart (cello, guitar, mandolin). Dense, elaborately constructed sound works that mix sampledelics and electroacoustic complexity with her well-documented improvisational flair; if you were excited by Zeena's
Isabelle
CD on Avant, this one will file alongside it perfectly. "One of the most intriguing and inspiring of Zeena Parkins' long-form compositions, 'Maul' examines the lives and deaths of Jewish gangsters throughout the ages. Utilizing texts in the lost language of Rotwelsch, she weaves a complex tapestry of voices, sounds, instrumental counterpoint, evoking a side of the Jewish experience perhaps best forgotten."
