Artist: Microtonal Gong Sho
Songs: [excerpts from two improvisations]
Recorded at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (Octopus Presents), January 15, 2020.
Microtonal Gong Sho - [excerpt from 1st piece]
Microtonal Gong Sho - [excerpt from 3rd piece]
The group name for this ad hoc ensemble was both whimsical and an on-point description. Field-testing a recently-acquired set of homemade gongs (spread out in front of them like a picnic blanket), Germaine Liu and Mark Zurawinski sounded out some traditional gong-bongs but also just as many unorthodox rubbings and clankings. They were flanked on one side by Brian Abbott (adding feedback swoops and phase shifter tickbursts on his microtonal guitar) and Sarah Peebles (on shō and cracklebox) on the other.
[Coming up on Wednesday (February 19th), Octopus will be presenting two different trios, each with Allison Cameron — the first set will see her being joined by Mira Martin-Gray and Mark Zurawinski while Germaine Liu and Laura Swankey will be featured in the second.]
