On April 24th, 2010, Dave Douglas and experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison unveiled their multimedia collaboration, Spark Of Being, at Stanford University. On film, it stands as a reinterpretation of the Frankenstein myth using new, archival, and distressed footage. The themes, penned by Douglas for his Grammy-nominated band Keystone, integrate electronics seamlessly into the improvised music, piecing sounds and movement together to make three strikingly different creatures.
CD 1: SOUNDTRACK is literally the soundtrack to the film by Bill Morrison.
CD 2: EXPAND contains the 'straight' performances of themes written for the film.
CD 3: BURST includes themes recorded at the session that did not appear in the film. Ships with limited edition box set packaging and a full-color 22-pg booklet with extensive liner notes.
Keystone is Dave Douglas, trumpet; Marcus Strickland, tenor saxophone; Adam Benjamin, fender rhodes; Brad Jones, ampeg baby bass; Gene Lake, drums; DJ Olive, turntables/laptop.
