INSIDE LOOK | The Sound of CIRCLES: going in / September 20, 2021 by PearlArts Studios

“I can make this just this and then I can distort it./I can add effects.

Echo reverb.

And that's just one sound./So then here's my other sound.

There's my little hi hat, little noise that I have with different tunings.

8 clap ride move dub easy

better, better, better, better…”

Across the Floor: Anniversary Edition #6 / May 24, 2020 by Guest User

In 2017, Staycee and Herman revisited their love for jazz vocalist, composer, and civil rights activist Abbey Lincoln in their production ABBEY: In The Red. Rather than pull directly from raw compositions of Lincoln’s music, the production concentrates on the intricacies of her voice and historical influence during the Jazz age with a contemporary arrangement of her work. STAYCEE PEARL dance project was accompanied in the August Wilson Center with a live quintet of woodwinds, strings and electronics curated by Herman Pearl and arranged by saxophonist Ben Opie. However, they didn’t just stop there.
