Socks and Sandals (and Friends) - [last section]

The second edition of the trivia/experimental music CLUE NOTE residency featured sounds that would have been right at home in the previous month's Hallowe'en-themed show. Working in terrain less "musical" and more "radiophonic workshop", there were some eerie and occasionally creepy vibes being generated despite the whimiscal nature of some of the soundmaking implements (balloons, slinkies, bird calls, etc.). In this stretch, Mark Zurawinski is doing some processing to Germaine Liu's balloon-squawks that renders them to something like the laments of the ghosts of Victorian children, while Nick Storring brought out a whole tickle trunk's worth of implements and microphones rather than his cello, adding squeaks and grinding burrs.
