Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World: Volumes 1-10

'Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World' is a monumental 10-disc collection of suites composed by William Parker, centered predominantly on the female voice. The project encompasses a vast sonic territory, ranging from solo piano and a cappella vocal albums to ensembles featuring string quartets, global wind instruments, and electronics, all unified by Parker's singular compositional vision. Thematically, the volumes serve as dedications to a diverse range of subjects, including jazz heroes, Native American and migrant communities, Italian cinema, and the cultural history of Harlem.
