“Spirit Catcher”, for four musicians and tape, combines free improvisation with spoken word and prerecorded sounds. Among Parker's instruments for this piece is the dilruba, an Indian bowed instrument with four metal strings and 24 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. |
