about
Turmeric is a music project that started in Cincinnati, Ohio and consists of Ethan Philbrick mostly playing cello and Isaac Hand, playing mostly classical guitar. Philbrick studied music and dance at Brown University before coming to Cincinnati. Hand is mostly self-taught and has played in a variety of metal and experimental bands before collaborating with Philbrick. Although coming from different backgrounds, Ethan and Isaac share an interest in crossing genres and traditions. They share a love of West African music (Philbrick having studied music in Mali and Senegal) as well as composers like Hildegaard Von Bingen, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Arvo Pärt. While most of their songs are composed for classical guitar and cello, Turmeric also incorporates found sound, synthesizers, and other instruments on occasion. Turmeric has recorded three albums: a musical response to a Tara Donovan art installation, an album of collected works, and a conceptual re-imagining of one of their songs. http://www.myspace.com/turmericsound offers more info and songs http://turmeric.bandcamp.com offers their albums for download or streaming.
