the album cover for Scherzinger / Rosenkranz / Gross / Choi - African Math

"Martin Scherzinger is a South Africanborn composer and media theorist, who works on and engages with the music of Africa. African Math is an album of piano trio music that ""Africanizes"" these western instruments (flipping the typical appropriation of indigenous instruments on it's head). Piano, violin, and cello are used as conduits for material originally intended for mbira, or kalahari, or Ugandan xylophone. Underlying the layer of transcription, Scherzinger highlights and delights in the rich musical mathematics which exist at the core of so many musical traditions in Africa."
