California composer and Pax Recordings
co-curator Ernesto Diaz-Infante crafts a set of politically-charged
recordings. Co-composed with Marjorie Sturm, Mirrors
on the Crisis of the Moment examines political, social
and economic concerns of the day through the use of
Tarot readings. Ernesto performs solo acoustic steelstring
guitar improvisations that synthesize current events
and the Tarot's advice, creating a set of dense yet
minimal acoustic recordings. Accompanying the music
and its liner notes is a set of eleven digital image
compositions created by Stasisfield founder john kannenberg
whose image sources are the result of entering the
titles of the tracks in Google, a Tarot for the information
age.
