About

The compositions on this album, written between 2022 and 2024, form a conceptual suite and an observance of the mental dances that we construct to understand acts of passage; the ways that we commune, memorialize, and carry symbols back into the world beyond representation. To this end, The Head as Form'd in the Crier's Choir engages two references to the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus: Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, a collection of poems from 1922, and Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, an early baroque opera from 1607. The Head as Form'd in the Crier's Choir follows on from the last two albums, which were attempts to begin bridging the gap between the fixed electroacoustic pieces that emerge in Davachi's home studio and her slow-paced, somewhat open-form chamber writing, in which each performance presents a new structure and each iteration offers the path to a new composition and deeper meaning.
