the main event is a lack thereof.

imagine that.

I went to a show last evening and really had a cool time. My friend hooked me up with a usher gig in exchange for seeing the show for free so I bit. There were 3 dancers and 3 musicians improvising. I was into the first 2 but not the last. The bassist from the group "Oregon" was kinda tired. Point? bingo---) that is ....I was talking to Joe after and got to the conclusion that what I was least liking in the performance was the fact that there were innumerable moments where there was a feeling that they (dancers) were moving in ways that were not particularly intended...IE they had muscle memory that was deciding their dance more than their concious decision making..... but to complicate things for myself I resticted that by thinking about how with an instrument you can hide behind technique or "genre" a little more whereas with dance it is much harder because we read so much about people thru their movement and so naturally we have a much more intuitive/deep understanding of that form of communication....strange.

I feel like the time is rapidly approaching where I start doing dance/performance...ala Lathican(sp?) amongst the Subud or butoh....

fuckaduck I gotta go ..

so we (foster/jenkins/eubanks trio) played a show here in Ann Arobor last nite with this band birth. They were rather strange....live drum and bass with a drummer instead of a drm machine. He was a machine. It was very disconcerting to see someone play that fast and tight. They seemed to be on the John Zorn tip a little and alot of the heads sounded vaguely Masada-ish. We palyed with them for a song tho and it was totally free and really pretty cool. They were stellar musicians and very responsive in a free setting which was really outside their usual thing. They also gave us some hook ups in the Boston/NY area. The point being I guess that it has been really an eye opener going on tour and meeting all these amazing folks. Everyone has been incredibly gracious and beautiful. I think that staying in one place for too long kinda makes me bitter and stuck. Travelling has opened up alot positivity in me and makes me look forward to the next coupla weeks.....
