Black Spirituals are Zachary James Watkins (electronics) and Marshall Trammell (percussion). At the time of this cassette's release, they are supporting Earth on their 2015 European tour. Recorded live at Disjecta Art Gallery on August 30th, 2014, by Daniel Menche. Mastered by Jacob Felix Huele. Black Spirituals' performance involves the manipulation of temporal experience using a framework of dynamic relationships and a "Multi-Aesthetic Approach to Improvisation." The title "Black Spirituals" is borrowed from a found cassette documenting a lecture given by Bernice Reagon on the roots music of American black slaves. These stories form a sonic resonance that speaks of rich relationships to one's surroundings, memories, profound feelings, dreams, and the experiences that inspire human expression. This duet features a new tradition in conversant, duo vernacular dynamics that sparked a revolution in our conceptions of space, stage, ritual, performance, geography, praxis, brotherhood, relationships, rockin' out, and more.
