Memorize The Sky 5/24/13 Firehouse 12

Aaron Siegel, drums and percussion: Zach Wallace, standup bass: and Matt Bauder, clarinet, sax, flute, and electronics. Odd trio of jazzbos. Siegel played drums, bells, and a tiny xylophone with roofing nails as mallets. Wallace spent alot of time bowing drone backdrop to the four tunes that comprised the second set. The real attraction was Bauder who approached playing his wind instruments from five inches away from reed or mouthpiece as if the instruments were whispering. Circuit-bending electronics from Bauder offered weird textures and waves of staccato percussion. At one point, these bleeps and blaps sounded like a metronome humping a geiger counter, go figure.
