about

This recording stretches as far back as my personally digitized memories go inasmuch as it was recorded on sony minidisc with a sony stereo condenser microphone aimed at the room (sounds made by Ephia dropping stones & mouthing dreams; Keith Rowe coming through 2 fender twins, remarkably vivid -- check out recording at 9.40 minute mark, for example -- anyone who knows Keith's vocabulary will be able to detect his against my own even when my own obviously contains a lot of his influence. The other sounds are direct from the mixing board: my own electro-acoustic guitar, field recordings and my own variant of the "no-input" device. The minidisc recording would need a few years to migrate into 16 bit file, one disc burned for us, one for Keith whose reply a few months later in Berlin came a thanks for that which I always took to mean that he bothered to say something. Listening now I can only think of it as an ideal moment where what I had been working on with Ephia in terms of the body as sounding space met with one of my mentors, one of the major inventors of the prepared guitar, a guardian of the quite gates. Somehow it all very strangely converges. In a theater space that no longer stands.

In addition to thanking Ephia and Keith Rowe for this experience and these memories, I should add a few names. For one, Alana Deloach, who's set up the show at Lida Project. And we should thank the Lida Project itself as an organ, a cave for the imagination, as sonorous space now only in the arcana of our memories and the resonance one can hear in this recording. The other person to thanks is Ian Douglas-Moore who was the first responder to the emergency calls I made to record and music shops in Denver to find amplifiers for Keith to use. Additional thanks to whoever put us up that night. Special shouts out go to the wonderful people we met in Denver subsequent to than evening and who would invite I and Ephia back to perform several more times.
