Taking its title(s) from Robert Creeley's poem "The Heart", A Boat Upon Its Blood
deploys the human metronome of amplified pulse as a recurring undercurrent,
with compositions that incorporate electro-acoustic and musique concr te
strategies, drone, noise, electronics, dissonance, tone poem, layered rhythmic
and melodic figures, and improvisation.
Recorded by Thierry Amar (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion,
Vic Chesnutt) at the Hotel2Tango in Montr al and mixed and mastered by Jesse
Zubot (Tanya Tagaq, Drip Audio Records), A Boat Upon Its Blood is a genredefying
tour-de-force of visceral, immersive, highly satisfying contemporary
composition. Constellation is thrilled to introduce Jason Sharp as a unique and
invigorating voice in new music.
