Many cartographers have mixed art and science in filling in the blank spaces they're visiting. For Del Stephen, those blank spaces are on the (many!) buttons of his Wurlitzer WX 42, causing him to approach the instrument in a true spirit of exploration — and in so doing, he has discovered many wurlds. Those journeys of exploration are now published in an atlas album, but luckily the release has also been accompanied by a small series of varied shows presenting the music. Here, Stephen was joined by Erik Kinsella and Andrew Finlay Stewart (keybs), Liz Lima (clarinet and voice), plus Jeff Sinibaldi (percussion and dub effects), adding some extra layers to the tunes.

You can check out some more from this set over on youtube:

[Del Stephen (in the synth-tastic Electric Expansions Focus Group format) will be completing his Wurld Tour tonight (Thursday, June 20th) at Dundas Video's Hitplay series. Track Could Bend is back at Wenona on Tuesday, August 1st with music from Heather Saumer as well as a special set of sounds in memory of Ted Phillips, featuring Glen Hall, Nilan Perera, Brian Abbott, and Kieran Maraj.]
