Artist: Jessica Houghton & Kathryn Merriam

Song: [excerpt from an improvisation]

Recorded December 4, 2022 at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (Audiopollination 10th Anniversary Bash).

Jessica Houghton & Kathryn Merriam - [excerpt]

A round number anniversary is always worth celebrating, and more so for this labour of love devoted to creative expression and community building. Kudos to Mike Lynn for putting in the work to keep Audiopollination going for a decade — definitely worth celebrating with a slice of pie and a crowded room in the Southern Cross.

The afternoon opened with a pairing of Jessica Houghton (movement) and Kathryn Merriam (harp). Houghton used the thin strip of space at the front of the stage area (and, later, gained some height on the piano bench) to reflect Merriam's lush notes and reverse delay sweeps.

You can check out some footage from this set over on the Audiopollination youtube channel:
