Carcass

Available on Spotify, Pandora Plus & in most digital music stores.
An uptempo instrumental jazz electronica tune composed & performed by Kitty Allen on pedal harp, flutes, midi-keyboard, laptop, & melodica.
Inspired by a viewing of "The Yellow Buick" (photo above) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Created by French sculptor & experimental artist, César Baldaccini, this piece was assembled in 1961. It consists of a car body crushed by a hydraulic press into a dense package. César developed an international reputation based on a series of these sculptures, which he called Compressions. He later worked with plastics and in 1967, as a counterpart to his Compressions, he began constructing Expansions. For this genre, he often created his artwork in public locations, using plastics that expanded rapidly & quickly solidified.
