KAREN JURGENS

Alone

The recording of "Alone" was performed on a traditional drumset and although the structure of each work evolved from the "doing", the titles all indicate an autobiographical point of reference. No multitracking was used with the exception of "As Is" which is a MIDI based work that utilizes no "looping" software and is based upon earlier listening studies of African music focused on "marimba" styled instruments.

Karen Jurgens

A NY native, Karen Jurgens has played a standard drumset for most of her life in a myriad of styles. During the 60's she became interested in the philosophy of John Cage and the works of other 20th century musician/composers, especially the "free" jazz of that period. Her current work represents an extension of this, and a maturation that continues. She has recently recorded with Joe McPhee and the Deep Listening Band on "Unquenchable Fire", along with having performed solo and creating a tape composition for the Dance Theater Workshop.
