Murals (for Maxo Vanka)
Thomas Milovac - Double Bass, Voice
Recorded in Orlando, FL 10/2020
“Murals” is a solo improvisation for double bass and voice influenced by the work of Croatian-American painter Maxo Vanka. Vanka’s striking murals at the St. Nicholas Croatian church in Millvale, Pennsylvania juxtapose elements of traditional Croatian life, religious imagery, industrialization, and the horrors of war that lingered in the minds of people after the end of the First World War. One example of this juxtaposition is a mural, at the St. Nicholas church, of a Nun ominously veiled with a gas mask over her face. “Murals” aims to explore the juxtaposition of musical ideas in a manner influenced by Vanka’s work and create a vast, sonic mural for the listener.
