GLOB 18 — SYDNEY SPANN

Each of the ten songs is an audio portrait of an everyday public structure in New York. Made entirely of sounds derived from these structures, my subjects include bridges, an outdoor gymnasium, parks, playgrounds, piers, statues, an abandoned fairground, and a library bench.

I recorded with high-definition contact microphones that capture sound waves moving through solid material (as opposed to through air which is how most microphones work). In addition to my own interventions, many structures were resonating due to environmental factors like being ridden over, leaned on, rained on, and generally blown about.

Edited and arranged into ten compositions, Alloys is a rezoning of sound from public to private structures. All proceeds go to the NYC Low-Income Artist/Freelancer Relief Fund whose mission is to “provide support for low-income, BIPOC, trans/GNC/NB/Queer artists and freelancers whose livelihoods are being affected by this pandemic in NYC.”

GLOB 14 — DOUGIE POOLE — STEEL GUITAR: NON-TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS & UNEXPECTED APPEARANCES

“Pedernal,” the title track of Susan Alcorn’s new album out November 13, 2020 via Relative Pitch Records, gives full reign to the pregnant sense of limitless possibility in her music. 

The album opens a new chapter for the Baltimore-based Alcorn, introducing her as a composer with a vision as subtle, bracing, and beautiful as her pedal steel playing. This fearless project is built around some of her deepest musical relationships, including those with guitarist Mary Halvorson, bassist Michael Formanek, and drummer Ryan Sawyer. Also featured is new Alcorn collaborator, violinist Mark Feldman, an artist she’s wanted to work with since seeing him perform with pianist Sylvie Courvoisier some years ago.

“Pedernal” opens with Alcorn’s gracefully slithery pedal steel line suggesting a dark, minor blues that’s joined in an undulating caress by Formanek’s lithe bass. Descending chords introduce the second section as the band steps into the gathering maelstrom, eventually resolving into a beatifically lyrical theme that seems to summon the abiding power of the iconic vista. 
   
Over the past quarter century Alcorn has blazed a singular trail on the pedal steel guitar, transforming an instrument inextricably linked to the music of Nashville and Hawaii into a vehicle for improvisational flights untethered to any particular idiom. Best known for her work as a solo improviser, she’s a master of impromptu duo encounters who’s also comfortable mixing it up with larger ensembles like the London Improvisers Orchestra and Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra.

GLOB 17 — JESSE JARNOW — COOL PARTS, 1966-1995
[ST. DILBERT'S HYPNOCRATIC FUN TIMES MEGA MIX]
---------------------------------------------------
Experience the Grateful Dead's weirdness in a continuous two-hour rush from the first tape in 1966 to the last show in 1995, with representative freak-outs, jams, bliss sessions, nitrous meltdowns, feedback blasts, synth experiments, soundtracks, abstractions, and drumz/space segments for every year in between. Mixed continuously, with the Dead colliding and overlapping with side projects and spin-offs, it makes a direct and vibrating line from the Acid Tests to stadium-sized MIDI absurdity of the '90s, with garlands of infrared roses gray-folded in between. (With curatorial assistance from the Save Your Face blog.)
