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!):
