For the times. Today.


The Angst Of Now - sNeak aTtack

This piece is dedicated to monster bassists Peter Kowald and William Parker and centers around Peter Kowald's passing on to the next realm, based on a stry I heard from William Parker's wife that stunned and stayed with me to the point that I HAD to write a piece about it.  Around the same time myself and Bay area bassist/composer/curator Lisa Mezzacappa started collaborating, agreeing to co-write most of the music for our budding trio.  This was one of the first pieces I wrote us.

Patience (Waiting for William)

The ExPosed Blues DUO expanded to a TRIO right before Xmas at the 55BAR, adding Tim Dahl(of Child Abuse) into the mix.  It turned out to be a steamy, heady brew.  You can judge for yourself here with this live, brittle, rough version of the classic Rev. Gary Davis Blues done in a new way - I start it off and its improvised from scratch.

If I Had My Way

Down By The Riverside (Blurred)

Formé en 1988 et faisant partie des pionniers du métal industriel, Godflesh est un des duos les plus bruyants de la planète. Véritable déflagration sonore, leurs prestations lives auront ravagées plus d'un tympan. Leur passage à Colmar se fit le 23 novembre 1999 au Grillen.

Stop by here to check out fresh sounds of my working groups - the Fay Victor Ensemble, Herbie Nichols SUNG, The ExPosed Blues DUO, tracks w/pianists Elisabeth Harnik, Misha Mengelberg.  Below is a little about me...

Fay Victor has been hailed by the New York Times as “artistically complete” for her unique vocal approach to the blues, jazz, free improvisation and her own original material. Starting from the jazz tradition, Victor has gone on to encompass a multi-genre approach to music, lyrics and song called “Freesong.” She has released seven critically acclaimed recordings as a leader, toured extensively throughout Europe as well as Japan, India, Russia, and Mexico and has worked with a veritable who's-who of musicians such as Anthony Braxton, Amiri Baraka, Misha Mengelberg, William Parker, Laurence “Butch' Morris, Gary Lucas, Roswell Rudd, Dave Burrell, Han Bennink, Tyshawn Sorey and more.
