Someday this space might be mostly concert listings again, but for now Monday roundups might include a romp through the MFS archives, some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!).
Community notes:
- Audiopollination is returning to its pre-pandemic "self-curated" format for its shows coming up in March, April and May, giving performers to improvise in a safe zone but still outside of one's usual context. Series host Mike Lynn notes: "If it is safe I will allow a live audience - If it isn't, than we can livestream it from Array space with no audience." To sign up, you just have to head over to the spreadsheet here.
Livestream nation:
- Track Could Bend is back tomorrow (Tuesday, February 1st) with two sets (solo performances in times of covid anxiety) from Paul Newman and Lina Allemano, premiering on youtube at 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock respectively. Come and hang out "live" in the chatroom, or catch 'em any time later on at those same links.
Video hits:
- Big archive find from Ryan Driver this week — he has shared the recently-rediscovered "only known video footage of Canadian experimental music ensemble The Reveries". This recombination of Rat-Drifters saw Driver alongside Eric Chenaux and Doug Tielli featuring strangely-melted tunes courtesy of the members' mouth-speakers.
In the mix:
- Check out this "eclectic and blissful" MailTape mix, guest-curated by Del Stephen.
Bandcamp corner:
- Special reminder that Bandcamp Fridays are back for the next few first-Fridays-of-the-month, including this Friday. (The full schedule for now is on February 4th, March 4th, April 1st, and May 6th.) Dust off your wishlists and support the artists you love!
It happened this week...
- ...on February 5, 2018 at Burdock Music Hall (Megaphono Roadshow).
