DA Mekonnen's experimental jazz project dragonchild presents the
Vermont debut of BLACK to the Chandler Center for the Arts in this
immersive, multimedia spatial sound performance.
Conceived & transmitted by DA Mekonnen, dragonchild draws
on decades of musical experimentation, embodied spiritual practice, & critical
thinking—culminating in their debut work, BLACK. In this innovative listening
experience, four one-sided vinyl records will be played simultaneously to create an
immersive swarm of sound using an eight-speaker playback system.
BLACK will be presented along with visuals of Ethiopia's volcanic lake Erta Ale from
photographer Michael Tsegaye.
3 listening sessions at 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30pm
