Altered Zones

Just when we thought Brooklyn's Blondes were jumping on the dance music train without looking back, London's Dummy hipped us to a modern classical composition for chamber orchestra they debuted in New York this past October at a benefit for local experimental music organization Roulette. Not sure why, but the group have set the piece to footage from the music video for Sophie B. Hawkins' 1994 hit single "Right Beside You", in addition to (possibly) naming it in the pop chanteuse's honor. Listen to Zachary Steinman and Sam Haar discuss the score with legendary performance artist and composer Meredith Monk here (say wha??), and peep some US/Canada tour dates with Simian Mobile Disco and Juan Maclean (DJ) below. Rumor has it that a European tour may also be in the works.
