The 'disappearance' of which the New York performer-poet
Copernicus speaks is that of The Universe itself. His
conceptual concerns are not with the everyday. He is not
penning couplets about the changing fortunes of human
existence, other than on the grandest (or lowliest) scale. He
speaks of subatomic matter, and refuses to bear any glad
tidings.
It all happened in Hoboken, New Jersey, on November 2, 2008,
when Copernicus gathered together a large ensemble of
improvising musicians and booked a day-long session dedicated
to existential immersion (or possibly non-existential
immersion). Many of these are artists that he's worked with
for more than two decades, all of them attuned to the willing
abandonment of pre-meditation, well-versed in the dangers of
deliberate free-fall. The longtime musical director of
Copernicus' assemblage is the Irish keyboardist and composer
Pierce Turner, long resident in New York City. His fellow
countryman, Black 47 leader Larry Kirwan is one of the album's
four guitarists, along with Mike Fazio, CΘsar Aragundi and Bob
Hoffnar. Other musicians appearing on the album are: Raimundo
Penaforte (violin, acoustic guitar, percussion, vocals), Fred
Parcells (trombone), Rob Thomas (violin), Matty Fillou (sax),
Marvin Wright (electric bass guitar and additional electric
guitar), George Rush (tuba, acoustic and electric bass),
Thomas Hamlin (drums & percussion) and Mark Brotter (drums &
percussion).
