Here’s a glimpse of “Relics and Their Humans” Josh Quillen’s amazing collaboration with dear friend of Sō, the amazing playwright/director/actor/ Ain Gordon.

“Relics and Their Humans” is a theatrical and musical journey to Josh’s hometown of Dover, Ohio, tracing his family’s three-year odyssey following his father’s ALS diagnosis in 2006. Three powerful relics anchor the piece: a recorded interview with Quillen’s mother, his father’s journal, and a surprising playlist.

This video was taken at a live performance last month at CAP UCLA. Want to hear more? Check it out in Salt Lake City this fall (details/info coming soon)!

This season we’ve journeyed through our epic 8-CD, 500-minute box set 25x25 (out on ) - and we are nearly at the end! This week, we’re happy to share a work composed for Sō by our own , Four + Nine - and then we have just one more to go!

Because Sō Percussion’s work is deeply collaborative and often begins with a concept rather than a well-established score, each one of us has composed new works for So over the years.

This particular piece had its germination in a section that Eric composed in 2016 for our original production A Gun Show - but then he revisited the idea for a work that he created a year later as part of the So Percussion Summer Institute.

Since that time, Four + Nine has become a Sō mainstay! Listen, and enjoy - and be sure to check out all the works on 25x25! 

Executive Producers - Michael and Amanda Fournier
Engineered, edited, mixed, and mastered by Matt Poirier

From Out a Darker Sea is a project that Sō Percussion created together with members of the communities in North East England known as the Coal Coast. It was a privilege to spend time with people who had worked in the coal mines and remembered them with a mix of anguish and nostalgia. Others we worked with have grown up with much of their lives defined by shuttered mines that they have never seen open. Everyone we met welcomed us into their homes and schools and lives to learn about the history of the Coal Coast and understand what it is today.

We are grateful to Forma for helping us to make this project and to Arts Council England for supporting our commission through East Durham Creates. We could not have made this work without the collaboration of Amber Films and the incredible Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen. This work is dedicated to Billy, Fred, Harold, and Sylvia.

After premiering From Out a Darker Sea in 2016 and touring England extensively in 2017, we are happy to finally share this recording as part of our 25x25 Boxset celebrating Sō Percussion’s 25th Anniversary.
