WORD:
"A captivating sound poem." (The New York Times)
"Rhythmically right on." (Rolling Stone)
Anaïs Maviel (vocals & instruments) [US]
------------
We are stoked to host the amazing Ana Ïsma Viel in concert in between the films! She's a vocalist, percussionist, composer, music director, educator, curator and healer. Her work focuses on the function of music as essential to settling common grounds, addressing Relation, and creating utopian future. Involved at the crossroads of mediums - music, visual art, dance, theater and performance art - she has been an in-demand creative force for artists and ensembles such as William Parker, Steffani Jemison, La Bomba de Tiempo, The Commons Choir, to name a few. As a leader she is dedicated to substantial creations from solo to large ensembles, and to expanding the power of music as a healing & transformative act. She performs extensively in New York, throughout North, South & Central America, and Europe. Her solo debut hOULe, out on Gold Bolus Recordings, received international acclaim. This will be beyond! WORD about Anaïs:
"Her process is so deeply rooted as to be almost subliminal. She seems to throw herself at her notes, as if seeking a sound that might convey pure energetics." Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times
"What a power and expression! Experimental & abstract of the one hand, but at the same time rooted in old black musical traditions." DM - Vital Weekly
'Imagine the Sound' (dir. Ron Mann, 1981)
------------
'Imagine the Sound' is a true classic. It brings together interviews with and musical and dramatic performances by the true legends: Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Bill Dixon, and Paul Bley, the prime innovators of the once controversial free jazz movement of the 60s.
“The best documentary on free jazz that we have.” (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader)
