benevolence

last night was a success - musically - and for the cause!

kraig grady, our own cory beers, and kris tiner opened (i can't wait to see them this coming tuesday here); their sounds are always a pleasure to take in and let circulate thru subtlety.

the transhumans were exceptional, and you should read the drummer bob's writings! they are joining us in noisepollination - il corral's summer noise extravaganza - put on by steve of +dog+. i was so glad to hear them, and get to know them more.

work then graced us with spacious, sweet melodic interludes before tik-tik blasted the place! tik-tik gives it all. rad movement.

+dog+ throttled every body in the room with some excellent formations of sonic wizardry, and were so good they were almost dangerous. the schults brothers ended the evening with some finely honed, free-then-formed luscious sounds.

i had a wonderful night.

thank you everyone who was involved! with this night, and all the ones before. so many people have helped get this sound system together. it has been a great challenge, but we're almost completely done!

the amp benefit (appropriately named) has enabled us to get the necessary piece for the sound system!

thank you so much...

for every show, bands and crowds pull together miracles of organization and communal trust, but last night was really amazing for me. it is nights like that which keep me going. the artists deserve it! the people deserve it! and i am thrilled to be here to help make it possible.

we are meeting more and more neighborhood people who discover us like a secret. it feels like the literal blossoming of some rare petalled thing. il corral is very lucky to be surrounded by the power of such gentle, engaged creativity.
