This is how we build a bridge
with Brady Lenzen, JC Sanford, Andy Flory
Kracum Hall @ Weitz Center for Creativity
Northfield, MN
(Loud)

This event is the capstone performance for a SEMAC grant, one that I wrote in order to bring musicians together from very different genres, performance practices, and aesthetics. Originally the idea was to meet, and play, and record, at first, then draw out of those sessions some materials I could use to build a graphic and prose score. What wound up happening was very different, though; Brady (bass) and I (drums) started to develop a vocabulary that didn’t so much care about what I wrote down on the page, or how I talked about it. That became a low-end-plus-rhythm core, sometimes angular and frenetic, sometimes driving and steady, over which JC (trombone) and Andy (electric guitar) found clever ways to sound like a million people, and also a psychedelic ocean, and angels, and digital banshees.
