Live at Ironweed (@ironweedchi) w/ Disco Behemoth (@disco_behemoth), Chicago, IL, May 26, 2023.

No overdubs.
All modulation is from the tape units batteries dying towards the end of the set.

There wasn't a theme in mind for this set, but if there was, it would have to be the old phrase: "It's about the journey. Not the destination".

The energy in the room was high and Disco Behemoth didn't know what I was going to do. The improvised performance recorded in that moment was loosely structured with keys assigned to each movement. The foundation of the piece was a field recording which backing tracks were built around to act as a vehicle, if you will, to get us from one movement to the next. The players were signaled when to play and when to stop via a nod or the tip of a cowboy hat. These are the sounds of that performance.
