In recorded form, Paola Prestini’s Houses of Zodiac, has won kudos from Strings Magazine as “one of the greatest and most ambitious solo cello albums of all time.” We absolutely would not blame Jeffrey Zeigler, in his time the cellist of the trailblazing string quartet Kronos, for tattooing the words on his bowing arm. But there’s more to Houses of Zodiac than just the musical element. As premiered in the context of the museum show Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow at The Broad in downtown Los Angeles, Houses of Zodiac fused the dancing of Georgina Pazcoguin (ex of the New York City Ballet) and the Butoh master Dai Matsuoka, video by Murat Eyuboglu, and poetry voiced by Maria Popova. The overarching purpose, we’re told, was to explore Murakami’s themes of spirituality and ecological and human-made disasters. Under the aegis of Death of Classical, the originators of the project have reunited for a site-specific reboot at the catacombs in Green-Wood Cemetery, arguably New York’s tightest yet most atmospheric concert venue. —Matthew Gurewitsch
