Hali Palombo (a wonderful composer & artist/filmmaker from Chicago) was in touch a while back about contributing to a project supporting rabies awareness & prevention, around the idea of capturing the sound of rabies. I immediately rooted through my archives & tracked down a recording of a particular patch I’d made on the “White” Coupigny reproduction created by Philippe Dao & assembled it into a ~7 minute piece (utilizing similar recordings from the original 60s “Grey” & “Blue” instruments) meant to convey the virus’ rapid overtake of a host organism.
The project has manifested itself as a compilation Double-CD & digital album, which releases today & can be heard/found on Bandcamp, featuring a ton of my favorite contemporary musicians including Vanessa Rossetto, Beau Wanzer, Mary Lattimore, Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson, Clarice Jensen, Jon Mueller, & Andy Ortmann. I received a box of the CD edition in the mail, so please come up to me at a show if you want to grab one; the whole thing is great, highly recommended!
