random sound cavalcade #40, 41, 42 & 43 : some ensemble chestnuts

not enough people of this wee earth have been able to relish the sweet sounds of molten cicada lust, the hot! uke-on-uke action of the williwaw ensemble. here again, then, are a sampling of their oeuvre nonpareil: four of the eighteen legends - improvisational guides from a modern guitar tablature key - performed at the candlestick maker (chicago, usa) on the seventh of december, 2002.

the ensemble on that eve was comprised of nathaniel braddock, jim elkington, chuck falzone, david hunter, greg o'drobinak, kip rainey and the eponymous one.

fresh sounds

the artist rather occasionally known as williwaw will be making a return to the stage, well, not exactly stage, but space, and time, and the continuum that lies beneath.

at brown rice
4432 north kedzie avenue

brown rice is the intimate (possibly even cozy) performance space curated by daniel godston and friends that lies just beyond the door under the sign that reads "perfect rubber stamps" (previously known as the candlestick maker curated by michael zerang)

following on the albeit distant heels of the return of driver has no cash and the recent rise in frequency of williwaw in print, will be the return of amplified 'ukulele research. thrills, chills and spills - none of these will be there, but your sonic exorcism is guaranteed.

random sound cavalcade #7

from the nineteenth day of the fourth month of, eh, let's just call it 2003, is this excerpt of a live sound-action battle between williwaw and the sound and fury known as chad robinson (who currently rocks bells for dark fog). like several recordings made at the esteemed candlestick maker (recently reopened as brown rice - love any/all references to Don Cherry), the recording was very quiet, until the sound and fury unleashed his batterie - reconstructing some semblance of balance was not wholly successful, but the wholly impromptu sound action is somewhat audible. this is the fifth of what has been called eight great indecisive moments. behold!
