Deluxe Limited Edition Double-LP with hardcover booklet. A song cycle about the legendary Milwaukee artist, Mary Nohl. Double LP comes in a hard cover book featuring lyrics, images of Nohl’s art work, and an essay by Polly Morris (executive director of the Lynden Sculpture Garden and administer of the Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowship Program).

“Like Nohl, Allschwang is no respecter of boundaries in life or in art, mixing visual and literary worlds, time-based media and the still image. Like Nohl, who fully inhabited the space where the water meets the land, Allschwang navigates a myriad of musical worlds, borrowing, collaging, responding. She cites Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, and the pastoral more generally, as an influence; she references Filipino and American folk music; she remakes the B-52s song “Roam.” For Precession of a Day, Allschwang presses her small band of musicians and backup singers to create sounds and textures that are liquid, ethereal, and earthy. Like Nohl, Allschwang is a connoisseur of transformation, of the generative cycle. As a result, Precession of a Day shimmers, like the surface of the lake just beyond Nohl’s yard.” -Polly Morris
