Episode 46 opens with an hour arranged by Dev Sherlock. His third time navigating the clouds (see: E10 and E18), as always, a highly considered flight.

Hour number two forms freely, sequenced side by side with our friend Carla Bobrowicz at the studio turntables. Among her selections is Evening in Torpor, an early 1980’s student project that involved 10,000 Maniacs’ Natalie Merchant and Rob Buck (and one of the least digitally available records I’ve ever Googled).

Following Carla’s set, cuts from a few destinations as of late: a recent bandcamp release from Mike Clifford, the excellent Marisa Anderson and Jackie Lynn albums, and a forthcoming EP on True Panther by cellist Kelsey Lu—whose performance earlier this month at Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn was something special.

Improvisations

Last February, Dan Goldberg (aka The Spookfish) performed in a sling at Palisades. His guitar resting upright on a stool, he strummed awkwardly and adequately, each focused, wincing movement endearing him more. This personal challenge not to cancel the set (after dislocating his shoulder in a snowstorm) became the essence of the set; the arrangements took on a certain vulnerability in the light of that particular night.

Also planned that week was a session with Brooklyn-based violinist, Nicole Ruggiero. The two had met not long before, and the open-minded newness of their first creative encounter can be heard across these improvised takes, as well as in between them—Nicole laughing after ‘Improvisation 1’, Dan noting fatigue as ‘4’ unravels, etc. Mixing “harmony and dissonance,” frames Nicole, the collection feels like a capsule of a moment. Raw and fleeting, finished yet pleasantly incomplete.

The lead track appeared in Sam Ray’s Art Week 2016 compilation. Now the full set is up at SoundCloud, paired with an image by visual artist Symbios.

Dreams of Australia with Saccharine

The day of the sun — the only day fish can swim through the hydroelectric arches, and if timed perfectly, and executed with cunning and finesse, can leave the fish transformed. Pitched up the food chain. Scales replaced by hide, and gills for lowing lungs.

Peak fishing season though, as the schools, rustled, shimmer back from coral pastures, crossing the bays. One attempts the rite, quick as light and graceful fins. Yolks the falls, bells all jangling and ripples as it becomes reborn, a bovine wonder. Bullseye.

These men of lures in hip-waders throw lines, now lassoing into their wakes, tangling with horns and snarling their rods. They reel them in and pack their tackle and hitch their catch and creels. One holy head bellows a first and clumsy moo and scares the school back past the breaker.

One fisherman turns to the other fisherman, “I guess we’re cowboys now.”
