: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Further honing a singular cosmic musical language, Matthew Shipp :,
: begins celebrating his landmark 60th year with this new solo :
:' piano recording. The Piano Equation is also the inaugural ':
,: release from Tao Forms, a new label founded by :,
: drummer-improviser-composer û and longtime Shipp collaborator û :
:' Whit Dickey. ':
,: :,
: Over more than half of his lifespan, Shipp has built up an :
:' unparalleled body of work and a wholly original musical ':
,: language that only becomes more hyper-focused and distinctive :,
: with the passage of time. ShippÆs abstract eloquence is on vivid :
:' display throughout The Piano Equation, which presents him alone ':
,: at the piano, brilliantly solving his higher-order musical :,
: mathematics, approaching each new unknown from unexpected :
:' vantage points as in some form of cubist algebra. Shipp builds ':
,: his solo music in a cellular fashion, formed like the building :,
: blocks of human life out of disparate elements that combine and :
:' evolve in novel and fascinating forms. ôThere are billions of ':
,: different human beings on the planet, all constituted with the :,
: same genetic material but all completely different,ö he says. :
:' ôAll of these pieces can be generated with a different ':
,: mother/father idea and the basic cellular material can unfold in :,
: billions of ways.ö :
:' ':
,: Stride, swing and the avant-garde collide like so many elemental :,
: particles, the aftereffects radiating outward in increasingly :
:' complex and intricate formations. The scientific, the personal, ':
,: the political and the fantastic co-exist throughout ShippÆs :,
: work, melding in the radical vocabulary that the pianist employs :
:' on the album, which speaks with its own alien yet familiar ':
,: logic. Fragments of melody coalesce and transform, dissolve or :,
: shatter into kaleidoscopic reveries. :
:' ':
,: While some may have used the arrival of such a landmark occasion :,
: as their 60th anniversary of arrival here to look backwards, :
:' Shipp will spend the year continuing to move resolutely ':
,: forward, further evolving a voice that is as intimately personal :,
: as it is cosmically adventurous. :
:' ':
