about

For Erzulie Dantor - is a short ritualistic electronic work named after a family of Iwa or Vodou spirits. She is a warrior and a particularly fierce protector of women and children. She also played a role in William Gibson's work Neuromancer where an AI assumed her personality. The piece employs quartertones, and rapidly filtered electronic sounds throughout.

lyrics

Jeffrey Harrington was born and raised in the deep south and has studied with many famous composers at several famous schools, who taught him virtually nothing. As a non-affiliated musician, his work is performed predominantly in the U.S., Germany, France, and Australia. His music is characterized by New Orleans-influenced rhythms, and intense counterpoint and climaxes. A noted microtonalist and electronic experimentalist, he was also one of the first musicians to adopt the Internet for music distribution and promoting, starting in 1987 with RelayNet emails and BBS downloading. He distributes free of charge all of his scores and recordings at his website http://jeffharrington.org
and was likely the first musician on the Internet to do this.
