Recording: Suit World

Artist: Suit World

Song: [first piece]

Recorded at Wenona Lodge (Track Could Bend #60), March 3, 2020.

Suit World - [first piece]

This group, consisting of Alex Hamlyn (tenor sax), Alex McLaren (trumpet/percussion), and Vannessa Barnier (bass/vox), brewed up some spacious groove-jazz and adjacent textured vibes. This piece includes some words from Barnier and a nifty trumpet loop from McLaren that keeps popping up in the background like a slightly-anxious, half-remembered thought.

[Track Could Bend's previously-planned fifth anniversary celebration will obviously not be happening. Keep an eye out at the series' FB page for news of things re-emerging when the gathering-together status has changed.]

Recording: Cell Memory

Artist: Cell Memory

Song: unknown [edited excerpt]^*

Recorded at Ratio (Off World LP 1 Release Weekend – Night 3), October 23, 2016.

Cell Memory - unknown [edited excerpt]

Off World celebrated the release of their first album with three nights of sonic exploration at Ratio, bringing friends and sonic fellow-travellers along to set the mood. Like the headliners, Adam Terejko's Cell Memory project tends to be pretty malleable, presenting a wide range of sounds in different ad hoc lineups. This time out he was accompanied by Alex Hamlyn for a duo set of heavy shimmer guitar stylings. There was some subtle clatter from Terejko's plectrum acting as a bit of rhythmic mediation, but this was otherwise firmly in gliss-roar territory.
