Liquid Music, Northrop, and the Walker Art Center Present
Jlin: Permutation of Three
With Daniel Bernard Roumain, Leonardo Sandoval & Members of the SPCO
Thu, Oct 2, 7:30 pm
Walker Art Center
A math lover, former steel factory worker, and proud resident of Gary, IN, Jlin (Jerrilynn Patton) has quickly become one of the most distinctive composers in America and influential women in electronic music. Jlin’s thrilling, emotional, and multidimensional compositions have earned her praise as “one of the most forward-thinking contemporary composers in any genre” (Pitchfork).
This carefully crafted program demonstrates Jlin’s expansive musical universe through solo electronic material; genre-defying collaborations with omnivorous violinist and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain and renowned tap improviser and choreographer Leonardo Sandoval; and the Kronos Quartet-commissioned Little Black Book performed by members of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO).
Little Black Book is presented in partnership with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
Articles & More
“[Jlin’s] music is propelled by the sheer force of her percussion, her ornate, radical progressions, her shape-shifting sounds, an undercurrent of menace. Listening to Jlin tracks is like watching the horror movie heroine open the door into a vast unknown—and yet, she turns out to be completely in control, morphing and bending the rhythm, changing up the narrative again.”—Pitchfork
“Jlin is an artist who belongs to her genre, but has an eye on where it could go next.”—The Guardian
“Jlin … has constantly grown more daring. [Her music] is the best kind of overload.”—The New York Times
“It’s unlike any music you’ve ever heard, … creating rhythmic instrumentals that explore the joys of repetition with beats that bounce around like super-balls.”—The Los Angeles Times
