Their Bad Fury

Rinnip Laith

New Work For Old

Another track - not mixed - using Roland SH101 and a soprano sax to see what can be done for a solo performance - in the future. Difficult to control a synth and play a sax simultaneously (Ouch)!
A note on the side...use headphones as there's lots of details you won't hear with just a laptop/computer/smartphone.

Synth 2a

The first track from Resounder, a hybrid improvised electroacoustic album from the trio of Aram Shelton, Fred Lonberg-Holm, and Frank Rosaly. Long time collaborators through the Chicago sextet Fast Citizens (Delmark), this album is a clear departure from their previous work together.

Shelton focuses on creative music grounded in and influenced by the rich history of avant-jazz and free improvisation; his writing and playing has been documented through more than two dozen albums to date.
