Recording: Naomi McCarroll-Butler

Artist: Naomi McCarroll-Butler

Songs: Solo Tubulum, in two parts

Recorded at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (Dark Matter Presents), August 23, 2022.

Naomi McCarroll-Butler - Solo Tubulum, Part 1

Naomi McCarroll-Butler - Solo Tubulum, Part 2

This solo set from Naomi McCarroll-Butler saw a variety of intruiging musical approaches, including a long-note meditation for ebowed homemade banjo as well as overtone flutes and mouth harp. But the star attraction was the tubulum, a 15-note just intonation percussion instrument of McCarroll-Butler's creation, offering a variety of resonances mixing together on four layers of metal pipes. Slightly impractical to bring out to a gig, it was a treat to hear it close up in an attentive crowd.
