Del Stephen's Today Versions - unknown

Rather than the excellent atmospheric ambient sounds that might be an easy choice to showcase at a series like Track Could Bend, Del Stephen brought a sheaf of poems and some breezy pop confections (the piece heard here has hints of, say, the easy glide of a Yo La Tengo instrumental, sunny but with some moodiness somewhere underneath). He was joined by Niagara-based Dylin North (who often does projections for Culture Reject) on an overhead projector, and the sound of its fan and the crinkle of his acetate roll turning was a steady background sonic element as well. A lot of his images were projected through an aperture that brought things back to the cover of Stephen's recent Moss Rock album, which contains more sounds in a similar vein.

* Does anyone know the title to this one? Please leave a comment!
