In very short time, the potency, prowess, spirit and charisma of her cosmic musical proselytizing has taken her from relatively unknown improviser to borderline ubiquitous performer in Chicago's avant-garde. On any given night you can find Angel adding aura to ensembles led by Ben LaMar Gay, or Damon Locks, or Jaimie Branch, or Matthew Lux, or even, on a Summer night in 2018, onstage doing a woodwind duo with Roscoe Mitchell. For her recorded debut on International Anthem, \u003ci\u003eThe Oracle\u003c\/i\u003e, we've chosen to release a batch of tracks that Angel created entirely alone – performing, overdubbing and mixing all instruments and voices by her self – recorded using only her cell phone in various locations, from London UK to Cape Town RSA, but primarily from her residence in the attic of the historic Radcliffe Hunter mansion in Bronzeville, Southside, Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Co","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498599453003,"sku":"1076729","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f1f8c6ee-30fe-45f7-94ee-37e3d34d18e9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727750556"},{"product_id":"the-oracle-ia11-edition","title":"The Oracle (IA11 Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAngel Bat Dawid's International Anthem debut \u003cem\u003eThe Oracle \u003c\/em\u003eintroduced her multifaceted voice to the world. The response to its modest, initial cassette\/digital release in January of 2019 was immediate, and immense. Within a month of its announcement, Dawid was being featured on magazine covers and receiving offers from international festivals; and her subsequent activity marked the beginning of an epic run of creative output (including 2020's LIVE double LP, the same year's EP Transition East, 2021's Hush Harbor Mixtape Vol. 1 Doxology, and the sprawling opus \u003cem\u003eRequiem for Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e, released in 2023) that continues through the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of compositions on \u003cem\u003eThe Oracle \u003c\/em\u003epresent a deep blend of powerful and emotive songs alongside heavy and free improvisation. In true DIY fashion, Dawid recorded and mixed the album using only her cell phone. \"Angel's fieldnote approach affirms that the everyday remains a legitimate site of creative production,\" says South Africa based percussionist, collaborator, and IARC labelmate Asher Gamedze in his liner notes for the album's IA11 Edition. Gamedze - the only other musician to appear on The Oracle besides Dawid, who constructed most of the album's tracks by layering, overdubbing, and arranging lo-fi symphonies of her own voice, wind instruments, percussions, and keyboards - waxes extensively about Dawid's significance in his notes, calling her \"a living exemplar and extension of the spacious sonic horizons opened by the likes of the AACM and their refusal of any limitations on their creative vision and the destruction of the demarcation between composer and improviser.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Co","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":52971839193419,"sku":"R0497-2724","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/AngelBatDawid-TheOracle_IA11Edition_-IMRC23LP11-Packshot.jpg?v=1753108168"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/angel-bat-dawid.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
