“In 2002, with the closing of Mills College imminent and my bicoastal life coming to an end along with it, I requested of my colleagues works I could perform to mark this loss, honor the school's great legacy, and conclude the thirteen years I spent teaching there. They all graciously agreed. Lament for the Maker is the title of a Jack Spicer poem originally published in San Francisco, in 1963.
There are three recently commissioned works for solo harp and the final piece, berlin bedroom, an ongoing acoustic harp solo by Parkins which began in 2014. This CD serves as an homage to the Bay Area and is dedicated to students, colleagues and a collective devotion to experimental art making.”
