Phantom Waves: Darius Jones's Samesoul Maker

A Performance in the Historic Chapel

Phantom Waves is an innovative music series crafted for the distinctive acoustic spaces of Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel and Catacombs. Headlined by musicians making waves with experimental approaches to voice, instrumentation, and composition, the series offers immersive sonic journeys that blur the line between the living and the spectral. The 2024 series is curated by acclaimed performer Gelsey Bell, recognized by The New York Times as “one of New York’s most adventurous musicians.”

Samesoul Maker by composer Darius Jones is a work for four singers, bells, and vibraphone. As the companion piece to his 2014 composition The Oversoul Manual, which took us into the alien birthing ritual of the mothers of a planet called Or’gen, Samesoul Maker shows us the daily meditation that is performed by the fathers and community while the mothers are away from home. The work crafts a world of sound, syntax, and speech patterns that are different from ours, expressing the hope and truth that real communication lies beyond the realm of words and the familiar. Performers will include Gelsey Bell, Sunder Ganglani, Aviva Jaye, and Paul Pinto.
