Divided into ten parts, the suite draws on the story of the life of Isabelle Eberhardt, an explorer, wanderer, and writer whose diaries of turn-of-the century nomadism in North Africa are the basis for these eloquent musical miniatures. Zeena Parkins took inspiration from her travelogues and transformed the modes of North African traditional folk and religious music fused with European classical and a healthy input of lively avant-garde improvisation. The piece culminates in an outstanding closing section in 'Oblivion Seekers' and 'The Breath of the Night', an evocative exercise in atmospherics from Zeena Parkins' harp. A second work dating from 1992, Hup!, is a duo of Zeena Parkins on harp and sampler with Ikue Mori on drum machines. What sets out with sparse ambient gestures builds into a fanfare of sampling and tone-bending over the five pieces - a magnificent work which is entirely complementary to the title piece in its playfulness." ~ Skip Jansen, AMG  From an interview by Steve Elkins"I put together an ensemble, called Gangster Band, which I used to explore a number of musical ideas. One was a piece based around Rotwelsch, which is a Yiddish-based gangster language used in Germany from the 14th century to the 19th century. It was a secret code used by thieves, which altered the meanings of familiar Yiddish words for use in the subterranean world. One of my sources was a forced police coercion of a professional forger who worked with the Rotwelsch-speaking thugs. He was caught by police and put in jail. I think that interest in the connection between visible and concealed worlds was explored in a very different way through a later Gangster Band piece, "Pan-Acousticon," which was inspired by Bill McCagg, an Eastern European scholar who was unusually adept at learning languages, but suffered from increasing deafness. So that piece was more of an exploration into the inner life of one man's passage between the audible world and the echoes of that world which he could only hear inside himself.

My first piece for Gangster Band was a musical exploration of the life of the European nomad Isabelle Eberhardt. Here again, I imagined, through music, her dual exploration of the outer world of the Algerian desert, and the silent world she experienced dressed as a man in order to have the freedom to travel in Arab society that she may not have had otherwise, after her conversion to Islam." ~ Zeena Parkins, from an interview by Steve Elkins, Canada, 2002  EAC ReportExact Audio Copy V0.99 prebeta 4 from 23.
