The Other One
$14.00
The Other One is the musical component to a multimedia piece by Pulitzer Prize winner Henry Threadgill that also involves film, paintings, photographs, electronics, voice loops, and spoken word. Written for a 12-piece ensemble, the music is inspired by the percussionist and theorist Milford Graves, in particular, his integration of the human heartbeat into his musical works. As usual for Threadgill, the new work possesses the interlacing counterpoint and rhythmic vibrancy that is characteristically part of his compositions. The New York Times described the work’s 2022 premiere at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, New York as possessing “a galvanic sense of swing,” and “in lock-step with his every surprise rhythmic feint — producing an obliquely danceable, straightforwardly joyous Threadgillian energy.”
