Small Chaos - [set 1, second piece]

This quartet brought some low-end intensity to the Southern Cross, with percussionist Curtis Whittaker knitting together Tyson Headon's bass, Alex Sales' baritone saxophone and Birol Edrogan's didgeridoo. (Modular synthesist Michael Palumbo was absent from this show, but one could get a sense of how he could find a lot of space to twist wires in the higher frequencies.) Groove exploration was the main point of departure over two sets — often jet-propelled, but my fave was this more restrained foray, which found nice pockets for all the instruments to settle into.
