Pascal Rivoire Matière à penser, tout particulièrement sur "I'm here to help" et tout le disque est un régal, un miracle d'équilibre de la voix parlée (ténor) et la pertinence/sensibilité/intelligence de la partition de Val Jeanty, entre les percussions d'une batterie et des sons électroniques reproduisant un balafon (ou des steel-drums ?), des drones, et des sons percussifs: verres heurtés, chants d'oiseaux, cailloux entrechoqués...
Voir aussi les deux vidéos captées pour le dispositif en place. Favorite track: "I'm here to help" (Intro to "Manesology").

about

Recorded live in Portland, OR on August 9, 2019, Fodder splinters the sounds you were looking at on paper into the document you can hear through speakers. &/or vice versa. Drawing in part from the award winning poetry collection Buck Studies' "Loud-Assed Colored Silence" series, Douglas Kearney (words) and Val Jeanty (sounds) interweave new and old texts of original composition, samples, and improvisation to create live sound chemistry, raw energy, and better listening through playing. Pull up.

Publication of this project was made possible by a Project Grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC). Fonograf Ed. gratefully acknowledges RACC for their help and support.
