You'll Do - Rachel Harrington [from Celilo Falls]
a hook
upon which to hang lines
lines that point to the hook
that point to the hook and riff around it
that's what
Gradus 286 - Neal Kosály-Meyer [March 2016]
particular qualities of otherness
not that other
but how other
an interval set is a set of ways that two pitches can sound when compared
odd how suddenly it now sounds like parts of triads
as though a new layer had appeared from where?
applying precise oomph to these notes can effect a sense of modulation
one key sense to another among just only these 3 or 4 pitch classes
merged voices: played voice / space voice

Will Yow Walke the Woods Soe Wylde - William Byrd - Elizabeth Farr [from My Ladye Nevells Booke]
the keyboard setting of a song becomes a staged dialogue of the song it sets
virginal: lute simulator
Black Bottom Stomp - Jelly Roll Morton [from Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz]
circus clown juggle act
End of My Line - Woody Guthrie [from Columbia River Collection]
a scene from the electrification of the rural West (recent then and not yet 100 years done)
Mine Or Yours - Chet Baker and Art Pepper [from Playboys]
selling cool elegance
up-to-the-minute expertise
Cry For a Shadow - The Beatles [from The Beatles Anthology Volume 1]
an audition tape instrumental
would you hire this band behind your singer?

Scarborough Fair - Canticle - Simon & Garfunkle [from Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme]
How very English! To what extent was folk rock's influence on rock in general a bulwark against African-American culture, and to what extent was it an implicit, but near silent, acknowledgement of it? I suppose it would take some subtle tweezers to determine.
Unnamed Track 4 - Tillicum Junior High School Band, Bob Runyan, director [from my mom's tape of a concert given on March 3, 1971]
the muscular West
triumphalist tales we teach our teens
The Sheltering Sky - King Crimson [from Discipline]
a silent journey into the wilderness
a soundtrack
as it passes over the horizon the drum remains last seen
the tallest mast
Spirit In The Night - Bruce Springsteen [from Bruce Springsteen Live 1975-1985]
Mock Myth Romantic Days of Freedom
but sincere, as though everyone was exactly there
sharing shared experience exactly
each desiring so strenuously to be larger than life could be

Banned Rehearsal 260 - John E, Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Aaron Keyt [June 1991]
at Toad Hall, an echo place
reading from On The Road (Ezekiel vision of Wrath to the West)
cosplaying literarily as angels

plunk plunk mbira plunk
not energetic
importing sounds doesn't change that - still not energetic
drunken spouting
each on their own bar stool
into feedback coda
Happy Happy Happy We!
Handel and Shakespeare duel it out powerless
exit clown into my grave
Kerouac returns to close
Gonna Have Fun - The Boss Martians [from 13 Evil Tales]
neo Sun Records sound

Ariel - Greg Sinibaldi - Greg Sinibaldi, ewi/electronics; Ryan Ferriera, guitar; Ted Poor, drums
I'll be writing a review of this album soon I hope. These are from my notes of a second listen.
breathing in dense atmosphere or liquisphere deep ocean saturn exhalation bubbles rise irretrievable The Monster caged rattles something in the room [did the first time around too, the shades?] 1st cut has lots of power rock vibe to it downbeats seem clear until you try to latch on
roles: of ewi || of drums || of guitar
or: when it does resolve into power repetitions it doesn't last, it dissolves or just falls apart glueless
chopped sound like dicing attitude-challenging fleas
the stage moves around us to a different room
not moving forward through time from then to now and beyond
sense of looping back without repeating cyclic drones notwithstanding
GS has come stuck in untime
what remains unprocessed the substrate of real life or the encrustation of it upon
certainly nothing light about it nor glib
cats are going a bit bonkers
Ruggles monumentality? hm.
a homogeneity: same? amp system; same? guitar; same? drums? for each cut
has always seemed an alien mindset (my problem though I guess)
or rather: the space is so repletely filled at all moments that we are thrown upon variations in viscosity as a lifeline
ends with gentle quiet

Gradus 328 - Neal Kosály-Meyer
quite the list of notes to begin with, taking up a considerable time in telling them
first sounds all thick close
close wound ivy vines
thick and woody
each either new or a reference or mathematically postulated
folded into the crumple of crumpling time
the exactly knife edged →there←
a compositional stance earnedly arising within a weberberance of further indextualization
