Laura Swankey & Elisa Thorn - [excerpt 1]
Laura Swankey & Elisa Thorn - [excerpt 2]
With the crowded ruckus of some sort of big Leafs game in progress upstairs (maybe they made the playoffs this year?) there was a more modest celebration in Wenona's basement, with Ashley Urquhart and Alex Fournier (who have settled in quite nicely downstairs on the fourth Tuesday of every month) celebrating their series' birthday. Also worth celebrating was a visit from Vancouver-based harpist Elisa Thorn, here playing in a duo with her fellow Jazz Bras Dot Com-ist Laura Swankey. In honour of one of the craft beers on tap upstairs, this duo may now be named "Sour Dreampop", which serendipitously encapsulated some of their interactions, with Thorn mixing doodlebugging, tap harmonics and lush reverse delay alongside Swankey's similarly pedal-enabled vocal manipulations.
[Laura Swankey will be participating in some "Music and Movement Improvisations" with Alex Samaras' GREX at Array Space tomorrow night (Sunday, July 14th). Furniture Music will be back in the basement at Wenona on Tuesday, July 23rd, celebrating Triio's CD Release, along with a synth-y set from Alexei Orechin, Chris Pruden and Casey MQ's Dream Number.]
* The second selection here veers into a song-like section. Anyone know if there's a title to this? Please leave a comment!
