almost forgot to post in the midst of moving/packing madness but loved reading @philipsherburne.bsky.social’s take (as I always do) on QUIK-MELT from his Futurism Restated substack.
If Mohanna’s album has me thinking of downpours, M. Geddes Gengras’ latest might be a deluge of rainbows. Written for a January performance at New York’s Public Records, the 41-minute album is broken into four tracks but flows as a single piece of music. I can’t claim intimate familiarity with most of the machines he’s using here, but the list of gear—Squarp Pyramid, Make Noise 0-Coast, Korg Opsix, Critter & Guitari 5Moons, Strymon El Capistan, Audiomerge King Tubby Big Knob (that name!), etc.—are enough to give you some sense of the tonal and timbral complexity that’s going on beneath the surface. Structurally, it’s a rising tide of wave after contrapuntal wave, with so much going on that it’d be a fool’s errand to try to enumerate the music’s elements; in place of standout moments, you’re swallowed up into the flow of glistening, chiming radiance. (Well, the brief arrival of what sounds like fretless bass in the closing track might count as an event, and a really satisfying one, at that.)
