spires that in the sunset fire / this is fire / 2006



spires that in the sunset fire 

Spires That in the Sunset Rise is the musical collaboration of Kathleen Baird, Taralie Peterson, Tracy Peterson, and Georgia Vallas. Steeped in primal experimentalism and world eclecticism, the music is a repellant and magnetizing swarm of harps, guitars, cello, drums, harmonium, banjo, mbira, spike fiddle, bells, and vocals. 
Now based in Chicago, Illinois, the four musicians have been playing music in different formations for over 10 years. Through these relationships, the music has evolved into a synthesis of various influence, with an arduous search of the unexamined (albeit darker sides) of folk music.

Meredith Monk y Ann Hamilton / mercy
Two women sit quietly but deliberately across from each other at a simple wooden table: one is a renowned composer, singer, director/choreographer ¯ a Renaissance woman of the 21st Century; the other, a major sculptor and creator of breath-taking installations. From this intimate beginning, mercy, a stunning collaboration between Meredith Monk and Ann Hamilton, gently unfolds -- and then evolves into a swirling nexus of sound and vision. mercy is a timely meditation on the human capacity to both extend and withhold compassion, kindness, and empathy. The two women, both past recipients of the MacArthur “Genius” Award, are blazing pioneers in their respective fields. In mercy, they have joined their unique worlds to create a haunting, new universe.
