defenders of the axe #3
I caught the tail end of Defenders of the Axe #3 at the Loop Bar on Wednesday night, watching The West Footscray String Band do some structured improvisation (complete with moving numbers in front of each player, described in a PDF available on their website) as well as a Lullaby, explained in the booklet like so:
Becoming a dad got me interested in the lullaby as a musical form - music that's not just quiet but gently hynpotic, to still the mind without grating, conducive to a slow descent into sleep without getting boring. It turned out to be a lot harder than I thought.
Having missed seeing Tim Catlin, I bought his CD Slow Twitch on a whim anyway, and it turns out to be some nice, slow guitar drone/texture work. Cool.
Also, I found this mailing list, which I probably should've joined years ago. Oh well. I have now.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.
