Complex experimental, deals with samples in a very organic manner as Liz s a trumpet player from Oakland. The treatments are dense, cool, a nice juxtaposition of trumpet and noise, even vocals. Her resume is thick, including Metalux, Zeke Sheck, Crack: WAR, Anthony Braxton, MonoPause, Cecil Taylor.
1) very brief, strange waltz with treated vocals “Welcome”
2) weird percussive loops, then gutteral sounds, like a demon throwing up
3) spooky voices over a semi-tribal feel
4) looped organ with horn melody, sick and dark
5) simple Moog’like tones, then mechanical human voices speak-sing over
6) air raid siren type oscillator along with random sample-hold loops, moog, evolves and progresses, getting louder
7) cool loops, noise, layers of brass keeping a subtle melody
8) FCC at very end, horn solo’ed version of moon river
9) cool looped noise, industrial, turns tribal at end
