taser blasts 2015: : ... sound making performances,

i don't make it out for events nearly as much as i'd like. for a number of reasons. when i do, i always note the ones that made it everything or more...

1 (part 1) - Jacques Demierre and Urs Leimgruber @ artshare (LA).
it's been too long since i've witnessed such powerfully great players connect so perfectly to one another, and the audience ear. 


barre phillips, the performer i was most familiar with, was unable to make this a trio due to illness.
however, following a taserly reinforced and effected harp adventure with shelley burgon, a montage video of phillips moments made for a terrific lead-in to the performance.

1 (part 2) - White Magic @ katzen kultur (LA).
an extremely taser deep dive into this instrumentally unrestricted range, on really fun evening.

it was the release show for this:

here's a fave from this drag city release:


got to play a show w/ a one of her former projects, quix*o*tic* (amazing)... already a fan of her sister's work w/ autoclave and slant 6, i kept following along. love it all, but this event was definitely a year shaper, ear sharpener.
