Artist: Wenderly Park
Song: [excerpt]
Recorded at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (Joe's birthday concert), April 25, 2022.
Guest notes by Del Stephen:
A brief introduction by the eponymous hero, a chorus of (unsung) "happy birthday Joe"s, and we were off to the races with a set by Wenderly Park (Heraclitus Akimbo & Fahmid Nibesh), the first of two duos this evening.
Joe Strutt, aka Heraclitus Akimbo, started things off by plucking the electric tines of what appeared to be a baby porcupine, while Fahmid called in on the pedal, ringing in another drone around the sun. A wonderfully whirling and whooshing conversation was set into motion, with topics shifting seamlessly, as well as the languages these two were speaking; indeed, two sonic wizards and their tabletop spells. The set eventually came to a close (or so they thought) with a tired toy robo reading of a cryptic message, declared one letter at a time, sort of reminiscent of a low-battery Kraftwerk vocal line (I don't really listen to Kraftwerk). Perhaps more robo-literate listeners in the audience were able to decode the whole message - I understood the final letters to spell out "m-u-c-k", and the rainfall outside never held up.
