William Parker: Spirit Catcher for four musicians and tape (2003) (World Premiere)
Spirit Catcher, for four musicians and tape, combines free improvisation with spoken word and pre-recorded sounds. Among Parker’s instruments for this piece is the dilruba, an Indian bowed instrument with four metal strings and 2 sympathetic strings, frets like a sitar’s, and a bridge running over a goat skin; and the sentir, or Moroccan bass, along with several double reed instruments. Parker is joined by notable Bay Area improvisers Oluyemi Thomas, Doctor E. Pelikan Chalto and Barbara Sandidge.
