Northern Stair Projection was installed at Boston City Hall on November 18th, 2016. The installation used long strands of piano wire to transmit recordings from the boiler and security room of Boston into the massive brutalist space. The wires ran hundreds of feet upward from the floor, terminating at various levels of height in the buildings connecting different administrative levels.
Previously unreleased, track one is an extended recording of the installation. Track two, is the live performance featuring Keszler on solo percussion. The release includes a multi-page PDF of documentation from the installation and performance.

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
