Himlens Monster by Thomas Carnacki

A suite of material taken from the score for the 2017 Margaret Jenkins Dance Company piece "Skies Calling Skies Falling", rearranged here into a slightly different beast than that which appeared in the performance. The "monster" in question -- for that's the unofficial name by which we all referred to the section of the evening that most of this music comes from -- is perhaps one of the most evocative choreographic concoctions I've had the privilege of seeing.
