Concert Listings Roundup #360

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.


Special note:

For the past six-and-a-half years, I've faithfully been cranking out these listings every Monday. Because of the unprecedented situation we now find ourselves in, this week's listings remain blank. Stay safe and sheltered.

Community corner:

  • An important initiative has seen a coalition of small music venues across the country join together to make the case for ongoing support in the current crisis. With a reminder that "we were the first to close / we will be the last to reopen," the group has launched both a website and a petition so you can add your voice in the hopes that there will still be places to gather together once it is safe again for folks to do so.

Bandcamp corner:

  • I'm always happy when my recordings are of use to the artists. For this album, Sarah Peebles has used my recording of her album release concert for Delicate Paths (playing alongside Kyle Brenders and Nilan Perera) as well as some other electroacoustic works. It's a name-your-price download, but funds raised by this go to support Second Harvest.
  • I also had a behind-the-scenes role in the preparation of this latest entry in the Music Gallery's bandcamp release series, but this 2018 recording of The Tatsuya Nakatani Gong Orchestra was captured by the skilled hands of MG sound tech Paul Hodge, and is, as such, far superior sounding to anything i could grab with my gear. Featuring an all-star lineup of local notables, who had spent the day exploring the gongs and shape of the piece under Nakatani's guidance.
  • Meanwhile, Mystery & Wonder, the boutique label founded by Sound of the Mountain's Elizabeth Millar and Craig Pedersen, has landed on bandcamp, so some exploration through their releases is most definitely recommended. (And nope, the pair of titles in this album are not entirely coincidental!)

Livestream nation:

  • if you will pardon the self-promotion, I should mention that I am celebrating the fifth anniversary of my drone project Heraclitus Akimbo, reflecting on and refracting the sounds that got me started. I'll be doing a livestream set on my youtube channel tonight (Monday, June 1st 2020). Steam will start shortly before 8 p.m. EDT, music will start shortly after the hour. Link will also be in the facebook event as well as the Heraclitus Akimbo FB page.
  • Several friends of MFS will be involved with the COvER COvEN Microfest, which promises cover songs from "four bands across three time zones" including Invisible Out [Xuan Ye & Jason Doell], Century Egg, Zoë Alexis-Abrams and Regina's People Tanning. It goes down next Saturday (June 6th) at 3 p.m.

Bandcamp corner:

  • Hope you've been keeping a list of all the stuff you've been meaning to buy on Bandcamp! The site is once more waiving their revenue share on Friday (June 5th) from midnight to midnight PDT, so it's an excellent way to directly support musicians.
