ABOUT THE MUSIC | |
Composer Darcy James Argue's
18-Piece Bigband, Secret Society
Acclaimed composer Darcy James Argue brings his unique aesthetic to BROOKLYN BABYLON's hour-long score. Performed live by his 18-piece bigband, Secret Society, Argue creates an immersive sonic landscape that seamlessly weaves together the strands of Brooklyn's musical tapestry. Drawing on everything from brass bands, dance-punk grooves, and Victorian steam-driven calliopes, Argue's music pulses with the sound of Brooklyn.
"Maximalist music of impressive complexity and immense
entertainment value, in your face and then in your head."
- The Village Voice on Darcy James Argue's Secret Society

Celebrated Graphic Artist
Danijel Zezelj
Conjuring the baroque majesty of Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the gritty social narrative of Walker Evans' photography, acclaimed graphic artist Danijel Zezelj's animation brings the rich visual imagery of BROOKLYN BABYLON to life. Each frame is painted by Zezelj on a large wood panel, then digitally captured, processed and sequenced into an animated film, projected onto a giant scrim. Over the course of the performance, Zezelj also live-paints a vast cityscape, visible between animated chapters, which gradually fills a 30 by 4 feet canvas.
"...a tribute to the refuge and grace of the imagination."
- The Boston Globe (about Zezelj's graphic novel, Stray Dogs)
"It's not insignificant that both artists have come to Brooklyn from other countries; neither has gotten over seeing it with fresh eyes and a sense of myth."
- The New York Times
