25 years ago, David Shea released a crafty piece of complex philosophical and narrative audio collage: The Tower of Mirrors. Composed and produced in New York City, during September-October 1995, it includes 24 tracks, and features guests such as David Morley on analog synthesizer programming, Dave Douglas on trumpet, Zeena Parkins on piano and prepared piano, and Jim Pugliese on percussions. This is what David Shea had to say about it in 1995: "In 1994, I wrote a work based on the Hsi-Yu Chi novel for a large ensemble and sampler which used the 100 chapters as a map for creating an independent musical work. The Tower of Mirrors is a work that began as a collection of pieces for sampler solo and for sampler and solo instrumentalist. A series of 'mirrors' for solos and duos based on parts of the novel. Also, a collection of tributes to composers in ambient dance music, exotica, easy listening film music and experimental music formed separate points of entry. In particular, many of the great arrangers and composers of the period from 1955-64 who were the pioneers of stereo recording such as: Esquivel, Marty Gold, The Three Suns, André Popp..." 2019, looking into the (in)side mirror, David Shea says more about this particular experiment: "I'm reflecting today on the period of my life where I was immersed in the Chinese mythological Taoist/Buddhist stories of the Monkey King - Sun Wu Kung - titled, in English, The Journey to the West. I was also lost in sea of Hong Kong films and living in New York working in many of John Zorn's projects (Elegy being one of many high points)... Tower of Mirrors became a defining cross into to the last 20 years of my life. I felt thrown into the ethersphere during the years of 94-95 myself and I could not be more grateful to have created during and survived that time. I collaborated with so many during my travels and the credits are full of the people I was so lucky to have crossed paths with. I began a different path soon after this, with my interest in exploring Italian and Irish roots and reflecting on my teenage years of studying Taoism, Chan Buddhism, meditation, and martial arts and what followed was a long period of influence from Giacinto Scelsci and Luc Ferrari to traditional Chinese and Buddhist music..." The Tower of Mirrors was the third album of David Shea released by Sub Rosa.

SEXY BLACK TURTLENECK SWEATER!
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is soft, looks amazing on my husband who is a big guy (6’2” @245) so not everything fits all the time. Sleeves are long enough, and the sweater looks great on him. Soft material, nice collar rate 10/10. Will try and get a nice pic of him in it!

Nice economy casual sweater,
Size: Large, Color: Off-white
The sweater is fine for the price, with correct fit. Arrived fast. Nice neutral cream/oatmeal color. It has a fairly loose open weave and is predominantly cotton, so it’s quite breathable and well suited for layering in cool but not truly cold weather. The knit is a little coarse, not really scratchy but not very soft. It’s a good value for what they charge. And fine for casual wear. But I ultimately decided to return it and spend a lot more to get a merino wool sweater because they are dressier, much warmer for weight, MUCH softer, and less bulky under a jacket. I like to wear mock turtlenecks under a sport coat in the fall and this sweater was a little too thick for that.

Soft and comfortable but runs a bit large
Size: Medium, Color: Off-white
I got this turtleneck in the off white color, and it looks very clean and easy to style. The color is true to what is shown and works well with casual or more dressed up outfits. The fabric feels soft and has a nice amount of stretch, which makes it comfortable to wear for longer periods without feeling stiff. The sweater feels lightweight but still warm enough for cooler days. It is not heavy or bulky, so it layers easily under jackets or coats. It also seems fairly wrinkle resistant. After wearing it and folding it, it still looked neat without needing much adjustment. In terms of fit, it does run a little big. I usually wear a medium, and while this one is still wearable, it feels slightly looser than expected, especially through the body. It is not a big deal, but I would probably order a smaller size next time for a more fitted look. The turtleneck itself sits comfortably around the neck and does not feel tight or irritating. Overall, it feels like a comfortable and easy to wear piece with good stretch, a nice lightweight feel, and a clean look. Just something to keep in mind on sizing if you prefer a closer fit.

Don’t recommend
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Got this as a last minute shirt for an event and it was roughly $12 on sale. The quality was ok, first wear was fine but it doesn’t hold up after washing and air drying. I don’t recommend unless only wearing once, there was a lot of shedding and pilling after the first wear. I’m rough 5 ft tall and about 140 lbs. and I got a M and it sat around my hips so unless your on the tall side this wouldn’t fit.
