In Sleep A King
In Sleep a King is a set of pieces written for singer/actor/writer Rinde
Eckert by Clark Suprynowicz, with an ensemble comprised of Rob Sudduth,
Andy Laster, Sheldon Brown, Peck Allmond, Jai Uttal, Ward Spangler, Pete
Perfido, Michael Spiro, and Suprynowicz on bass. The music integrates
electronics with an acoustic ensemble. The CD includes Paramus, New
Jersey, from the show of the same name.
The Daily Californian wrote of this show: "Clark Suprynowicz's score,
played live by an ensemble of seven, is the best body of music I've heard
in a theater setting for a long, long time. Rhythmically complex, with
wonderful wind and horn fills, the score ranges beautifully over a lexicon
of textures and styles, from driving funk to '50's style cool jazz.
Suprynowicz goes all over the musical map, yet keeps things taut and
surprising at every moment." And Jesse Hamlin, in the San Francisco
Chronicle, wrote "The clincher was Clark Suprynowicz's "Paramus, New
Jersey" ... it was a funny, maniacal piece that built obsessively beneath
Eckert's punk surrealist ravings about a Checker Cab ride to Paramus. No
explanation required."
This CD was selected one of the best ten releases of the year by Larry
Kelp of the East Bay Express.
