Ted Phillips/Zach Clark/Nicolas Buligan - [excerpt]Although I wasn't at the first instalment of this new monthly series, I was at the gig where Nick Buligan and Lisa Conway fiddled with their Max patches and joked that there should be a night called "Troubleshooting" that involved realtime laptop improvisations — and a chance for musicians to gather together and deal with the attendant problems of getting them to work in performance. Now that these nights are a reality (on the first Wednesday of the month), another key component is giving the participants a chance to improvise together. This time out, after a brief solo excursion, Nick Buligan (the night's host) was joined by Ted Phillips and Zach Clark, who had each previously performed. Their meeting point was often a soundfield of various hums and buzzes, with the rumblings acting as backdrop for Buligan's processed trumpet. A little slow-moving, but quite worthy of droning out to.
