"'We're going to react to them and improvise,' says [Zeena] Parkins, a classically trained pianist from Detroit who found her métier in Manhattan's Lower East Side experimental music scene in the 1980s, when she electrified her harp to be heard amid the din of guitars and drums and other instruments." “我们打算对他们作出回应，并即兴创作。”接受过正统训练的底特律钢琴师泽娜·帕金斯（[Zeena] Parkins）如是说。20世纪80年代她发现了自己在曼哈顿下东区实验性音乐上的特长，当时她将竖琴电子化，这样使观众在吉他、鼓以及其他乐器的嘈杂声中依然能听到竖琴的声音。 — Jesse Hamlin, The San Francisco Chronicle, 26 Apr. 2018
