Recorded at The Tranzac's Main Hall (Ayal Senior & Friends), July 13, 2025.

Del Stephen - unknown

With Ayal Senior off being "big in Japan", it fell to yours truly as guest host to present some sounds for the afternoon. Things were being improvised right from the start when the Tranzac's a/c hit some bumps, sending the day's Southern Cross programming into the Main Hall — and further refinements were required when weather/car troubles necessitated a last-minute fill-in. Fortunately Del Stephen was available — with memories of his piano residency in my head, I proposed a haul-no-gear setup for just piano and pieces of paper. That worked out entirely well in a truly experimental set with songs, poems, old magazine articles and an impromptu recreation of an unknown band's found setlist.

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

[Ayal Senior & Friends will be back (and Ayal will be back!) at The Tranzac on the afternoon of Sunday, August 10th, offering sets from Ayal Senior & Kurt Newman, Greydini, Nick Flanagan, and the mysterious Azorean Hoods.]
