This was another in aseries of bands that were purpose-built, it'd seem, for the purposes of playing a particular piece, brought together to "complete" some compositions in, perhaps, the last place they need to be. Joined by Jeff Sinibaldi (electronics, gentle percussion), Andrew Finlay Stewart (violin), Michael Lynn (bass), and Patrick O'Reilly (guitar, effects), the group stretched out over two expansive compositions, gentle thoughts curling out into insistent notions.

Leading off another evening of curated vibrations, Del Stephen brought a couple pieces for solo piano as well as a couple poems backed by sampler-grooves, pondering about listening and creating an intimate space for some friends to play (and later, a more expansive set to sandwich the night).

Another Synaptic recombination for Nilan Perera (and his baritone guitar) in this set with frequent sparring partner Rick Sacks joined by special guest Tilman Lewis on cello, conjuring up some no-wave skonk'n'scrapes, proggy byways and a closing ballad over the course of the set.
[SynCirSundays is back at The Tranzac on December 11th, presenting The Electronoise Orchestra with Connor Bennett, William Davison, Mira Martin-Gray, Mike Hansen and Heraclitus Akimbo.]
This nifty trio assembled by Nilan Perera saw the live debut of Mira Martin-Gray's Landscape Stereo Field (the operation of which resembled the midway point between touch typing and a gentle massage), which created three dimensions of static and crackles to complement Jeff Burke's bassoon and theremin and Ben Grossman's hurdy-gurdy.

Originally conceived as a quartet with percussionist Blake Howard (we can expect to see that formation make an appearace at one of Ayal Senior's upcoming residency shows), this trio was workshopping some new material, feeling out some new vibes in the territory beyond this year's Az Yashir album. The new tunes were a bit more fragmentary and less lived-in, but none the less welcome for that.
Meanwhile, you can check out some of the "classic" material over on the MFS youtube channel:
With Jeff Sinibaldi in town to participate in a different sort of group with Del Stephen in the night's late slot, the pair also took this opportunity to join together for a percussion-based duo set, with the former on the kit (but also what appeared to be a cookie tin with a contact mic attached, something rattling around inside) and the latter on Octapad. Over three loosely-constructed pieces, the pair worked off each other in a spirit of friendly exploration, more of an amiable tap-along than a raucous tattoo.

A different vibe at Kurt Newman's monthly, with frequent collaborator Patrick O'Reilly bringing along one of his other projects — Wapamu (a moniker that is drawn from the performers' first names: Waleed Abdulhamid, O'Reilly himself, and Max Senitt). With Newman joining in on weissenborn and pedal steel, an extra syllable was added, and some nice grooves — Newman's melodically languid floating on top of it all gave O'Reilly more space for abstract funk scratchiness while Abdulhamid and Sennit locked in to provide a rock-solid foundation.

For this TCB, I asked Tyson Headon, who organizes things over at Splendid Industries, to put something together. He obliged by wrangling a half-dozen musicians, several of whom were meeting for the first time. The night was divided into two halves, first with each player getting the chance to participate in two shorter quartet performances before the whole crew played together in the second half. Sounds ranged from sputtery spirit invocations to modular lounge jams as the crew worked out some shared spaces.
For the record, the whole group consisted of:
Erin Corbett - Modular Synth
Michael Palumbo - Modular Synth
Sinéad Bermingham - Harp/FX
Tyson Headon - Bass/FX
Paul Geldart - Electronic Drums/Percussion
Curtis Whittaker - Acoustic Drums/Percussion
You can check out some video from each of these mini-sets over on the TCB youtube playlist:
[Track Could Bend will be back at Wenona on Tuesday, December 6th with sets from Madeleine Ertel and Ecotone.]
Due to a confluence of things, I've decided to start posting in the instagram account I've been not using for the past few years. Feel free to follow @mechanicalforestsound if that's your kind of thing.

Livestream nation:
Freesound has an intruiging online show of "Music for Piano" performed by Wesley Shen premiering on Thursday (November 17th), with pieces by Anna Höstman and Juro Kim Feliz.
It happened this week...
...on November 15, 2015 at The Imperial Pub's back room.
Once more the Cosmic Homeostasis crew convened for some Sunday afternoon drones, mixing some fine acoustic anchors (Michael Lynn's double bass, Del Stephen's piano) with a surround-sound zone of electronic hums and whispers. The crew this time out was:
Scott M2 - Animoog
Ron Blake - iOS apps
beard closet - guitar
Del Stephen - piano, notebook, tambourine
Mickle46 - le contrabasse, namer-of-things
Heraclitus Akimbo - Casio, ZOIA
Mira Martin Gray - percussion (set 2)
strofoamNosebleedPrincess - water glass + gloves (set 2)
You can check out the whole session over on Bandcamp:
I think "Many People" was at first merely meant as a description of this agglomeration of friends assembled by Karen Ng, but we might as well treat it as a de facto band name. (It turns out that every once in a while, everyone you invite out for a gig is able to make it, when you were only expecting some fraction of them to be able!)
With eight (and later nine) musicians playing, it was unsurprising that there were some crowded honk'n'squeak blastoffs, but for the most part, folks gave each other space, stepping back to let shifting smaller sub-groups stand out and letting the ensemble sections work as texture-knitting rather than volume competition.

Founded as a blog about one curmudgeon's love affair with the em dash, Mechanical Forest Sound has grown to become a community-based archive of local musical culture. Assuming that "independent music" isn't just boys with guitars and "culture" isn't just some sort of pageant, MFS is an investigation of a wide range of artists, reflecting on concerts as shared experiences, acts of citizenship and a chance to get down — fuzzy photographs and clear-sounding original live recordings a specialty.
Current manifestations of this project include Track Could Bend, a monthly concert series featuring "improvised music and weird rock offshoots", presented in a casual environment.
At one point I wrote full-on concert reviews, and for longer I thought I would catch up and write about shows in the past. But these days, because of, y'know, life, do not expect much in the way of full show reviews — but live recordings with blurbs will be posted as quickly after the fact as is feasible.
You can also check out full sets uploaded to the Live Music Archive. [not currently active]
N.B.: All recordings should be available & playable. If you come across any broken links, invisible or non-functioning players, etc, please leave a comment and I will tend to it ASAP.
ALSO N.B.: I'm perpetually on the lookout for a new place to stash my MP3's online. If you know of any place that allows a couple gigs of stuff to be openly linked to for streaming, drop me a line!
All MP3's on this blog are audience recordings shared as a reminder of the excitement of seeing live music. If you are an artist who doesn't want their music shared in this way, please contact me and I shall remove it forthwith.
