In his preface to the first "Arcana: Musicians on Music" (2000),
avant-garde composer and saxophone player John Zorn wrote: "This
book exists to correct an unfortunate injustice, the incredible
lack of insightful critical writing about a significant generation
of the best and most important work of the past two decades." That
the injustice was repaired by that collection was happily affirmed
by its subsequent success. The range of writing--from the technical
to the aphoristic/diaristic--demonstrated that sometimes critical
writing on music can inspire as much as it can explicate. As Zorn
acknowledged, though, "Arcana" was also a first step. Now "Arcana
II," also edited by Zorn, extends the scope of its predecessor,
compiling further essential writing by luminaries of contemporary
improvisation and composition such as Butch Morris, Evan Parker,
Marina Rosenfeld, Ned Rothenberg, Sylvie Courvoisier, Steve
Coleman, Dave Douglas, Annie Gosfield, Jim O'Rourke, Milford
Graves, Zeena Parkins, Bill Laswell and Uri Caine.
A reimagining of composer and avant garde artist John Zorn's 1981
creation 'Treatment for a Film in 15 Scenes' by four modern film
makers. Joey Izzo, Henry Hills, Lewis Klahr and the collective
Gobolux are the artists who set out to bring their own vision to
the work of the New York composer.
