about

FOLLOW THE LIGHT is a new work by Michael Zerang for string ensemble, featuring his instrument, Queequeg’s Coffin, which was designed by Eric Newman for Blair Thomas and Co.’s theatrical version of Moby Dick. The instrument has the scale length of a full sized cello, with four strings that are vibrated by a circular, wooden wheel - the same mechanism that sounds a Hurdy Gurdy. Zerang has completed a series of three studies for the instrument in solo presentations. This is his first full-length composition for ensemble that features the instrument.

For this work, Zerang is joined by a quartet of string players that have each contributed to a wide array of styles and approaches in the Chicago musical scene. Violists Julie Pomerleau and Johanna Brock, along with contrabassists Jason Roebke and Anton Hatwich perform this long-form exploration of shifting time and light via variable energetic drone.
