Machinations Musical, Divers & Sundry
Chapel Performance Space at Good Shepherd Center, Seattle
Iriviskia - Ewa Trębacz
marble maze | performers visibile and present but effectively inaudible | a battle overhead
3 Short Improvisations - Donald Craig (on a 19-tone electric guitar)
images evaporate quickly | delicate | a subtle can into which he plays
Passacaglia - Joshua Parmenter
access to cello interior allowed | source and effect not recognizable cello but audibly arising from
Inflection, Cadence, Rhythm, Pain - Inmi Lee
personal / intimate detection instrument as theater | stillness and inner motion
isolated-disintegrated - Anna Stachurska
accumulation | foil and reminder | an echo

Twitity Twixt Audity - Douglas Niemela and Donald Craig
one 2 one spinning \ d . . . {my pen tip malfunctioned, and I can't remember the word I was writing}
It was dark and the program on which I was making notes was a saturated blue. With my old eyes I was unable to make out the marks of my writing. The little notes above are what I can read of what I wrote down. However, I was deeply moved by these performances, especially by their thoughtful, mutually considerate struggle to bring what could have been merely cerebral down (or up or in or out) into a human scale, to make certain, with dead aim, that this is about us, here. Thank you!

Seattle Composers' Salon
Chapel Performance Space at Good Shepherd Center, Seattle
Krzeminski's Star - Matthew James Briggs - Matthew James Briggs, percussion; Candice Chin, violin
Mimetics of wonder and curiosity, to which the response is (first) dance and (later) awe.
Toad Song - Jessi Harvey
A most enjoyable and recommendable children's illustrated book. Spot on.
Reborn in Flame, The Death and Rebirth of a Phoenix - Ian McKnight
Literalist program music, as though it were a sound track to an educational film - except I don't remember those being so carefully considered.
Two Collaborative Works In Progress - Michael Owcharuk, piano; Karin Stevens, dance
Weight and work sinks into and sags the floor.

Banned Rehearsal 598 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Aaron Keyt, Anna K, Isabel Kosály-Meyer, Neal Kosály-Meyer - January 2001
Melody beguiles us. Where it doesn't appear we will seek it out. This one gathers slowly, picking up its pieces, cleaning up the morning after a mess of music.
Uspavansky (Lullabies) - Jan Vicar - Karen Bentley Pollick, Ivan Sokolov [from Amberwood]
Made of parts hesitant (to coalesce), it is at its strongest when most hesitant (to coalesce). It is sheer, unrepentant sensibility. No goal but refinement.

Forest's chest expanding slowly as it respires. Giants and gnats breathe a day of breezes. Densities emerge in multiple guises.

Troll 150503 Instrumental - Keith Eisenbrey
I'm taking a short break from my duets project to work on something close but a little different. It may or may not come to anything. Not ready for public yet.

Gradus 265 - Neal Kosály-Meyer
whisperbrush
dust from artifact
or chisel bite
what is is what isn't played
what is is matrix

an eyes lifted sound
face turned upward
