Overview

Absolute Zero is an album by American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby, released on April 12, 2019 by Zappo Productions. This is Hornsby's sixth solo studio album credited only to his name, the first since Halcyon Days in 2004, and his thirteenth overall album. It features a wide array of guest musicians, including Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette, and the ensemble yMusic. It also features a lyrical contribution from Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter on the closing track, "Take You There (Misty)". Composition and lyrics Hornsby cited a plethora of literary and musical inspiration for the music and lyrics of Absolute Zero. When discussing the album in an interview with the Guardian, he said, "There are some minimalist composers that influenced me on this record – Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Adams – and that tends to be a less chromatic, dissonant area of music." He also cited passages written by authors Don DeLillo and David Foster Wallace as inspiration for the lyrics of the title track and "White Noise", respectively. In an interview with Stereogum, Hornsby said that most of the tracks on Absolute Zero had stemmed from film scoring projects for Spike Lee. "I've been scoring movies for [Lee] and his Netflix series She's Gotta Have It. I've written about 230-plus pieces of music for these many projects. These pieces can range from one minute long to four or five minutes long, and through the years I would always earmark certain cues as being special in the sense that they sounded like they wanted to become songs."

Notable quotes

“A cold coming they had of it, at this time of the year; just the worst time of the year to take a journey, and specially a long journey, in.”
— Lancelot Andrewes, Sermon 15, Of the Nativity (1622).
“If I was not assured by the best authority on earth that the world is to be destroyed by fire, I should conclude that the day of destruction is at hand, but brought on by means of an agent very opposite to that of heat.”
— Charles Dodgson (bishop) quoted in Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll (1898), p. 5
“Future work will extend the coilgun method to trap molecules of chemical interest. Once they are in a magnetic trap, they can be cooled to near the single photon recoil limit using the method of single photon cooling, as demonstrated recently with trapped atoms. The application of this method to cooling of molecules is particularly promising.”
— Edvardas Narevicius, Adam Libson, Christian G. Parthey, Isaac Chavez, Julia Narevicius, Uzi Even, and Mark G. Raizen; “Stopping supersonic oxygen with a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils: A molecular coilgun” in Physical Review A 77(5) • (May 2008).
“It's too cold outside for angels to fly.”
— Ed Sheeran in the song The A Team (song) (2010)
