Khôra - [last section]

More focused on the present than the past, it took curator Andrew Furlong somewhat by surprise to realize that his music series in Wenona's basement was celebrating its anniversary — but he had booked a show that was quite worthy of carrying the birthday banner. Unlike when I saw him in this same space a few months previously, Matthew Ramolo was back to something like his "classic" setup, but still pushing off in unexplored directions and seeing if he can keep his modular rig's sounds from falling into chaos. The result in this closing section of the set was, indeed, rather beautiful.

[JAOIM will be back at Wenona on Tuesday, December 10th, sharing the night with Furniture Music and playing Cobra under the instruction of Joe Sorbara. Participants will include Mingjia Jessica Chen, Bea Labikova, Naomi McCarroll-Butler, Rob Grieve, Ashley Urquhart, Andrew Furlong, Raphael Roter, Joe Sorbara and Alex Fournier.]
