Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds is a virtual musical universe. It was
commissioned by the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art and recorded there
during its world premiere in 2015, as part of the 50th anniversary celebration
of the AACM. This work is another wonderfully provocative entry in Mitchell's
Afro-Futurist aesthetic. Here, boundaries between literature, philosophy and
mysticism, politics and art, coexist in a multivalent dialogue. It also offers,
unintentionally, a poignant reminder as to why the AACM's purpose remains
vital. The record's title references the second performance work based on
Mitchell's sci-fi novella of the same name. The Black Earth Ensemble features
her longtime associates -- cellist Tomeka Reid, violinist Renée Baker, Alex
Wing on electric guitar and oud, and percussionist Jovia Armstrong -- alongside
new ones: Tatsu Aoki (bass, shamisen, taiko) and Kojiro Umezaki (shakuhachi),
as well as poet/spoken word artist Avery R. Young, who appears on three of the
last four tracks.
