Dunn, Trevor/Shelley Burgon - Baltimore
SKU
SKIRL005
Recorded the day before I saw them play in DC, this was recorded in Baltimore, MD by the duo of Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle) on double bass and Shelley Burgon on pedal harp. "Wavering between patient meditation and manical catharsis Dunn and Burgon mine the narrow fissure between pure improvisation and through-composed chamber music, slashing at the extreme interplay between steel, string and wood. Strings are beaten or jimmied with clothespins, the harp alternately caressed and throttled. The sonic equivelent of a Joseph Cornell box, the duo has a haunting, cinematic quality that is both staggeringly complex and achingly beautiful."-Tim Duroche
