The Drop

This was a spontaneous find after going to another gig. I made the mistake of not being prepared, not bring pen and paper with me. I therefore asked a bar man for till receipt and a biro as I felt inspired. 

I couldn’t really see what I was doing because it was so dark at the venue but it created an interesting reportage image. I was drawing what I was experiencing rather than at the marks I was making and this has visualised the essence of the performance through studies of the musicians.

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.
