music at a distance 330
An album by snwv Released 2026-11-06 Performing a regular Monday show, some performances will take place before an election. Two years ago, the pre-election improvisation felt unsettlingly elegiac. I don't think this was particularly mystical. To be close to music in improvisation, one has to approach it honestly, and the music brought into focus the uncertainty of that election, and what we stood to lose. This time, I felt guardedly hopeful, and the music appeared with a quiet confidence, reassuring harmonies, and warm timbres like low brass and reed instruments. There was something slowly and understatedly heroic at work. Some of Tuesday's wins were expected, but the full extent was a welcome surprise. I hope you're taking good care of yourself and enjoying the moment. The titles of this performance are references to the visual art of Tahiti Pehrson. Thank you for listening!
