about

Siamo molto orgogliosi di annunciare il secondo album di Michael Krassner per Dark Companion.
Questa musica innovativa, come sempre mozzafiato, era originariamente concepita come colonna sonora per un docufilm di Michael James Beck e Star Rosencrans dallo stesso titolo: il film denuncia la grave deforestazione delle maestose foreste del Nord America e tutti i problemi ad essa associati. La musica tocca corde arcane, sepolte nella nostra memoria collettiva. Antichi racconti vengono raccontati senza parole, preservando una profonda sacralità che il tempo e lo spazio hanno seppellito con i loro sedimenti, ma certamente non cancellato.

Boxhead Ensemble è un collettivo musicale fondato dal compositore Michael Krassner. Il progetto è iniziato nel 1991 per registrare la musica per il film indipendente The Original Pantry Café. Il gruppo presenta una formazione in continua evoluzione, che include Edith Frost, David Grubbs, Glenn Kotche, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jim O'Rourke, Doug McCombs, Scott Tuma, Mick Turner, Ken Vandermark e Jim White. Krassner è l'unico membro stabile e Lonberg-Holm è quello che ha contribuito più frequentemente al progetto. Il Boxhead Ensemble si è formato a Los Angeles, California, nel 1991, quando Braden King e Larry Stuckey hanno incaricato Michael Krassner di registrare la musica per il loro documentario studentesco indipendente The Original Pantry Café. Krassner ha riunito musicisti locali che hanno improvvisato la musica che compone la colonna sonora. Nel 1996, King ha invitato Krassner a creare la musica per un altro documentario da lui girato, Dutch Harbor.

We are very proud to announce the second album by Michael Krassner for Dark Companion.
This innovative, as ever, breathtaking music was originally intended as the soundtrack to a docufilm by Michael James Beck and Star Rosencrans of the same name: the film denounces the severe deforestation of North America’s majestic forests and all the associated problems. The music strikes arcane chords, buried in our collective memory. Ancient tales are told without words, preserving a profound sacredness that time and space have buried with their sediments, but certainly not erased.

The group features an ever rotating line-up, which as included Edith Frost, David Grubbs, Glenn Kotche, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jim O’Rourke, Doug McCombs, Scott Tuma, Mick Turner, Ken Vandermark, Jim White. Krassner is the only consistent member and Lonberg-Holm has contributed the most frequently to the project. Boxhead Ensemble was formed Los Angeles, California, in 1991 when Michael Krassner was commissioned by Braden King and Larry Stuckey to record the music for their independent student documentary The Original Pantry Café. Krassner assembled local musicians who improvised the music comprising the score. In 1996, King invited Krassner to create the music for another documentary he had filmed, Dutch Harbor.
