Why Be Normal - [excerpt]

Every once in a while I like to curate a set combining folks who might not have even met but that I suspect would be in sync, musically and vibe-wise — and all the better when it's a chance to spark some intergenerational collaboration and inspiration. Hearing a tale from Colin C. (who performs as %%30%30) of a particularly enticing curb find made me think of similar stories from James Bailey, which lead to this junk percussion duo. Setting a wide variety of found objects throught the room, the pair made some joyful sounds, finding the musical soul in everything from spikes to vacuum cleaners to plastic bags.

You can check out some footage of the (nearly) full set over on youtube:
