mehahn by Chris Ryan Williams
With the purchase of this album you will be emailed a link to view the visual documentation of this piece, originally performed at California Institute of the Arts in March 2018.
This album is dedicated to all the strong Black women in my life.
"We work collectively and independently. The music does not accompany the [movement] and the [movement] does not accompany the music. Yet--at the same time it’s both. There is no special way to view or see or hear. Make up stories if it makes you more comfortable. Find the music programmatic, but know it wasn’t done that way. The music and the [movement] are what they are. There are no stories, no symbols. One day we won’t even have titles---or our titles will be poems in their own right."
-Bill Dixon
