Dan Blake, Da Fé
Dan Blake, Da Fé
If it wasn’t for its title, which relates to the question of faith in our own ability to effect positive change and references the “auto da fé” from the Spanish Inquisition era, saxophonist Dan Blake’s new album would still be a fairly bold artistic statement. Urgent times call for urgency in music and the saxophonist is outspoken in his ecological and social activism. “If only we could STOP and…

The Dust Moves, composed and animated by composer/saxophonist Dan Blake and featuring the Mivos Quartet, is based on the famous Buddhist tale of enlightenment in which a monk saw dust floating in a door frame bathed in light, realizing the profound stillness that surrounded that dust. This imagining of stillness within motion is a guiding metaphor for the work, which presents a series of simple yet compellingly introspective animations narrated by a highly interactive and genre-bending. This work was made possible by the Jerome Fund for New Music and New Music USA. It is the result of a rich collaboration that blurs the boundaries between new music and free improvisation. The Dust Moves will be released as a DVD by Infrequent Seams at WinterJazz Fest on January 16, 2016.
Finally, at long last! The Dust moves will be released on DVD at the 2016 JazzFest. January 16 at Subculture, 7pm!

5.30.14 Mivos Quartet played at the A.R.T. space on South Oxford in Fort Green Brooklyn, performing El Jardin de senderos que se bifurcan by Taylor Brook, the winner of their Kanter Composition prize. It was stunning in it's composition and execution, full of unusual timbral textures, extended technique noise and exotic tonalities. They also played an excerpt of Dan Blake's The Dust Moves, on which Blake sat in on sax, which was also brilliant (and is in this video). The namesake of the prize, Carl Kanter, had a lyrical piece played as well.
