Floating in the high cold air - Lori Goldston (with friend)
Chapel Performance Space, Good Shepherd Center, Seattle
LG
feedback of the box :: an additional hyperbow with which to pull each string's particulars into relief. Geologic. Ample. Generous as a long prairie drive.
LG wFriend
silent harleys flocked wheeling :: floating west to the foggy gray sea
roadless road trackless track pathless path
the deep pressed feel of pressed deep
smeared cyclic rhythm abstract :: surface of an ad hoc medium
elicits out of nowhere a baritone saxophone solid as amber
mind body spirit pull away
shore side
an anthem

Taking Me Home - Sleater-Kinney [from Call The Doctor]
Delivery on the flat line, punk nouveau.
Jeremiah 17:5-8 - Keith Eisenbrey - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey [recorded live at University Temple United Methodist Church, Seattle, on November 6, 2004]

| Mt. Rainier National Park - ca. 1975 |
I'm perhaps inordinately pleased with how delicate and transparent a thing this turned out to be.
Cell Block 21 - The Hollow Points [from The Funhouse Comp Thing]
A cinematic chorus from a punk rock musical. Our hero lands in prison. Video unnecessary, it's all there in the music - though perhaps if Busby Berkeley tried it . . .
Xtet: Last Dance for Milton - Elaine Barkin [from Milton Babbitt: A Composers' Memorial]
clear lines
clear abruptions
episodes of interruptions
stabilities flourish here and there
It makes perfect sense now that I think about it, remembering all those crazy pages of scrawl-doodled commentary {(Igor's goriest, etc.), how like precision scores they are, as in: play this tune exactly so, at an angle to the page, hand drawn, fanciful, from the idiolect} that Ars Antiqua and its "proprietary squiggles" would appeal so deeply.
Self-Righteous Fool - Denise Glover [from Pathways]
Curve balls so subtle you'd be past 3rd base before realizing you had struck out.

Die Kunst der Fuge Contrapunctus VII - J. S. Bach - Lionel Rogg
Collisive. A time-scale shredder. Armor up before listening.
Symphony in G Hob. I:94 (Paukenschlag / Surprise) - Haydn - Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields, Neville Marriner
If the image of the music is the exploring of the most pleasing aspects of something, what is the something we are exploring the most pleasing aspects of? A discourse of the spaces between sets of tunes?
And herein we find that brilliantly square one fingered tune (Pa-Pa Hay-Dn's Dead And Gone) that lurks behind Beethoven's Eroica variation theme.
String Quartet in F Major op. 135 - Beethoven
A telescope extended and collapsed at once, in networked dimensions. And waddayaknow? There in the midst of all that "Es muss sein!" is PPHDDAG inverted, in three quarter profile!
In Session at the Tintinabulary
