Cosmic Homeostasis XVIII - The Ways We Unravel [excerpt]

Cosmic Homeostasis XVIII - Space [edited excerpt]

The year's first Cosmic Homeostasis gathering (which happens when there's a fifth Sunday in a month) brought out a robust crowd, with twenty (or so) musicians taking over the perimeter of the Southern Cross and generating some sonic drift zones. A real nice mix of acoutic and electronic sounds, and ranging from some louder zones into quieter interplay.

The participants this time out were:

• Marilyn - various percussion, singing bowls, namer-of-things
• Philip Hamilton - guitar, box w/ a string and llama toenails
• Ron Blake - ipad apps
• Scott M2 - Animoog
• Mira Martin-Gray - mini synth, mini theremin
• Yasmine E - pocket piano, various percussion, rainmaker
• Adrian Russouw - violin
• Del Stephen - keyboard synth + cassettes
• Sophie Jaworski - wooden frog
• Paul Newman - tenor saxophone
• Patrick O'Reilly - Volca FM/effects
• Rod Campbell - trumpet
• Todd Macdonald - mandolin/Mood
• Hilary Martin - singing bowl
• Myfawny Ashmore - singing bowl
• Michael Lynn - bass + stuff
• Sterling + Ian - Atari junk console
• Rob Cruickshank - electronics + resonator
• Heraclitus Akimbo - synths, etc.

It's tough to get that many folks in the frame, but most of them make an appearance in this footage you can see over on youtube:

And, of course, you can also listen to the whole performance over on bandcamp (and, if you'd like, support the collective's future works with a purchase!):
