Frequent guests at the Ayal Senior residency often get pulled into recombinant and frequently-mutating instant bands — this one saw him joined by Marilyn Yogarajah and Roya Biazar.

With an elegant use of reverse delay, destroya unfurled some solo considerations, all enlaced with grace.

Marilyn Yogarajah & Co. - [1st piece, last section]

There'd be no gentle soundbath from Marilyn Yogarajah this time out — instead, a crew of frequent collaborators (Roya Biazar, synth and kazoo; Nilan Perera, guitar; Victor O, percussion) brought some spiky clatter. Host Ayal Senior dubbed the band "Hectic Space", which captures the vibe pretty well.

Recorded at Wenona Lodge (Track Could Bend #84), October 3, 2023.

This set from Roya Biazar involved some sonic experiments in real time — the joy, and goofiness, and vulnerability of asking "what happens if I do this?" and then finding out. Showing off nimble guitar skills (channelled through some trippy delay effects), there was also some subtle support from Notabandmate Marilyn Yogarajah on percussion.

Michael Palumbo/Rod Campbell/Roya Biazar - [excerpt]

A classic Audiopollination combo here, electroacoustically mixing piano, acoustic bass and modular synth — and in this stretch finding some really sweet atmospherics.
