Faulty (Broken Orbit) re-imagines Faulty (Per-Objective), an hour long 10-channel site-specific audio work, premiered in 2007 at Diapason gallery for sound in NYC, with sponsorship from Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center and the New York
Electronic Arts Festival. Faulty (Broken Orbit) is a poetic exploration of mic'ed surfaces and amplified quotidian objects activated into movement, layered against a shifting and slowly settling field of electric-accordion-driven feedback and processed instruments. This massive piece sets out to build elaborate systems in the manner of Rube Goldberg's circuitous
contraptions, which Parkins claims as inspiration for both her customized sound processing software and compositional structures: emphasizing idiosyncrasy, tenuous states, and the threat of "things falling apart."
About Andrea Parkins
Andrea Parkins is a NYC-based composer, sound/installation artist, and electro-multi-instrumentalist, acclaimed for her dynamic timberal explorations on electronically-processed accordion and inventive use of custom live sound processing. Together, her laptop electronics and Fender-amplified accordion create a gestural sonic language full of lush harmonics, noisy concretized disruption, and soaring electronic feedback. Andrea's compositions and audio works - electro-acoustic solo and chamber pieces, sound installations and multiplatform performance installations - have been presented in New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art ("Bitstreams"), Experimental Intermedia, and The Kitchen ("New Sound/New York"), among other spaces and places; as well as at intermedia festivals/venues throughout Europe, and in Asia and Latin America. She also performs internationally as a solo artist and in wide-ranging formations with colleagues such as Nels Cline, Otomo Yoshihide and David Watson, among many others. In this context she appears on more than 40 recordings on labels including Atavistic,
Creative Sources and hatology. In March 2009, Important Records will release faulty (broken orbit), Andrea's hour-long piece scored for amplified objects, feedback and processed instruments, based on her 2007 10-channel audio installation presented at NYC's Diapason gallery for sound. Other projects include a trio collaboration with Wilco guitarist Nels Cline and NYC-based drummer Tom Rainey that has released 2 CDs to date, and The Skein, her duo with vocalist/composer Jessica Constable, which has a CD coming out this winter on the Henceforth label. On an ongoing basis, Andrea develops and performs a series of interactive sound/image/object works inspired by Rube Goldberg's circuitous contraptions, a project conceived at residencies sponsored by Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center in NYC, Performing Arts Forum in France, and the Cultural Board of Hamburg Germany. Her work has also been supported American Composers Forum, New York State Council on the Arts, and Meet the Composer.

Improvising musician Andrea Parkins plays accordion, sampler, and piano, and none of her instruments are approached conventionally. As an accordionist, Parkins fragments the instrument's traditional vocabulary and expands its capabilities with electronics and extended techniques, and she combines piano and accordion with digital sampling. During the 1990s Parkins led a trio with saxophonist Briggan Krauss and drummer Kenny Wollesen that released two CDs on the Knitting Factory Records label, Cast Iron Fact in 1996 and Slippage in 1998. Into the new millennium she has continued to make significant contributions to the utterly unique sound of tenor saxophonist Ellery Eskelin's working trio, which includes the wiry and nimble Jim Black on drums. The formidable musicianship of Eskelin and Black cannot be discounted as factors in this trio's excellence, but the group would arguably sound far more ordinary if Parkins' accordion and sampler were replaced, in standard jazz trio fashion, by a bassist. Parkins can be heard on such Eskelin CDs as One Great Day..., Kulak, 29 & 30, Five Other Pieces (+2), Ramifications, and The Secret Museum on Hatology as well as Jazz Trash on the Songlines label. She also appears on Many Rings, the Knitting Factory Records release by improvising guitarist Joe Morris and his quartet (also including Karen Borca on bassoon and Rob Brown on alto saxophone and flute). In the 2000s, Parkins began performing in another innovative improvising trio, a collaborative endeavor that also features guitarist Nels Cline and drummer Tom Rainey -- she can be heard on 2004's Ash and Tabula released by Atavistic and on Downpour, released by the Victo label in 2007 and recorded live at the preceding year's Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville in Victoriaville, Quebec.
