John Vanderslice - White Wilderness

· Nine new and wildly impressive JV songs captured
live over three days in a unique collaboration with
the Magik*Magik Orchestra, a collective of
classically trained musicians in the Bay Area led by
artistic director Minna Choi.

· The Magik*Magik Orchestra have a comprehensive
mastery of classic performance and repertoire, but
also have a full appreciation of the aesthetics of
indie and underground music.

· Choi arranged and conducted White Wilderness
with 19 members of the Magik*Magik playing
strings and horns, vibraphone, pedal steel and
piano, an assortment of reed instruments, and
much to JV's benefit, the voice of Minna Choi
singing backup at key moments throughout the
album.

· Recorded in San Francisco, White Wilderness was
produced by John Congleton, whose resume
includes albums by St Vincent, The Walkmen,
Explosions in the Sky, Bill Callahan and many
more.
