*FLOATING WORLD: CD Release Party
Friday, January 28
Red Poppy celebrates Floating World’s Floating World Vol.
1—original songs set to the poems of three Mission District outsider poets.
The Floating World is a suite that pays homage to the hidden souls and
secret stories that drift through the streets of San Francisco. Composer and
bass clarinetist Aaron Novik has composed serenades for this imaginary, yet
authentic, space, invoking the spectral, carnival-like atmosphere of San
Francisco. The music was inspired by poems from three Mission District poets
who inhabit the fringe of this unseen territory: Bart Alberti, Swan and
Michael B. Loggins.
*Dina Maccabee: violin *
*Marie Abe: accordion*
*Lisa Mezzacappa: upright bass *
*Jamie Moore: drums *
*Kasey Knudsen: alto sax *
*Melody Ferris: vocals*
*Aaron Novik: bass clarinet, compositions*
Floating World Vol. 1 is being released on Porto Franco Records on CD and
two vinyl records (the second titled Don't Call Life a Bad Word), with
jackets printed by hand on a letterpress by Bay Area artist and printmaker
Rebecca Peters.
From Bart Alberti’s “Bataille”:
“A ladybug lights on a sheet of paper;
Elsewhere a train pulls into a station. These
Are so many wounds inflicted on the system.
At the summit of its insignificance
The sun shines down its deadly laughter.”
