12 Little Spells

Description

When Esperanza Spalding announces a new 'audacious' project, one expects anything. With 12 Little Spells, we discover Esperanza Spalding as a magician, casting her musical spells in the realm of creativity... a collection of tracks exploring different parts of the body, human energy, and the art of healing. This is a project where the unique bassist, singer, and composer chooses to surround herself with visual artist Carmen Daneshmandi, opera and theater director Elkhanah Pulitzer, costume designer Diego Montoya, and videographer Ethan Samuel Young. Each member of this team created a key element of 12 Little Spells without hearing a single note of the music, drawing inspiration solely from the project's title and the various names Esperanza gave to the spells.
