Details:
"The Nekyia Vol. 2" is the second collection of tracks composed for the Nekyia dance company, directed by Kristina Canizares. This CD includes new tracks for ensemble choreography, bellydance drum solos, and 2 remixes/edits of tracks which first appeared on "The Nekyia Vol.1".
Scott Sterling''s drumming has fueled the flames of innovative dance and performance art in the San Francisco area for over twelve years -- often in a quite literal sense, given his involvement in pyrotechnic displays at Oakland''s Crucible, Burning Man, and elsewhere. He was a founding member of AWD (1996-1999) and Xeno (2000-2005), influential pioneers of SF''s currently thriving "indie-circus" movement. Within these ensembles Scott began as a drummer, but gradually took on the roles of composer and producer.
In 2003 he took up Middle Eastern percussion and immediately incorporated into into his work with Xeno, as well as collaborating with UltraGypsy and beginning to work with dancer/choreographer Kristina Canizares. Kristina founded the Nekyia dance ensemble and brought in Scott as music director in 2005. Together they forged a unique fusion of bellydance, jazz, Latin dance, burlesque and circus arts, with Scott producing original music for group and solo choreography.
His tracks and remixes now appear on several compilations of Arabic fusion dance music, with more scheduled for release in early 2009. Performing solo, accompanying the Nekyia, and working as a percussionist with Jef Stott (Six Degrees), Drumspyder has played up and down the west coast and has toured Japan and Canada.
He has participated in several of the highly original and successful Crucible theater productions, including "Dido and Aeneas" (2004), and "The Odyssey" (2007). He served as music director of the "Firebird" (2008), and was recently music director of the "Dracul, Prince of Fire" (2009).
