The boy, the wife and I saw Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi play the other night. It was a surprisingly fun show. I thought I'd catch up with the other former Carolina Chocolate Drops.
The Greek word Χώρα (Khôra) with a lot of philosophical meanings is one of the inspirations ofthis work. Khôra could mean a « no man’s land » and it would also be like a receptacle, a space, a place; a matrix that put together all the matter that it is continuously in motion. Khôra is a travel into another world, far and unknown, where we find a desolate land.
However, it is possible to rise up and think that everything is possible, and as Icarus, try to touch the sun and get it. And this time, there will be no falling down.

Edith Alonso is a composer from Madrid. She began composing electroacoustic music when she discovered the concrète music and met composers such as François Bayle and Pierre Henry in Paris. She explores sounds in many processes always in an innovative way and changing of set frequently (electric prepared bass, analog & digital synths, laptop, circuitbending…).
Interested in sound physical transformation and how they change our perception of reality. She never finishes of knowing herself and full of contradictions, likes city noise but needs always to travel to a desert area in Aragon to get away from the turmoil of the world.
Instruments: Analog synthesizers: Korg Ms20, Moog Minitaur, Elektron Analog Keys. Digital synth: Waldorf Blofeld.

I have a few tracks from the Dubliners on rotation, all of which I am trying to learn. Thanks to old age, all the Irish singers have disappeared from the local folk jams, leaving me to fill the void.
Prelude and Toccata for electric organ excerpted from "The Pressure." Performed by Margaret Halbig on a Lowrey organ. Comissioned by Other Minds with generous support from the Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation. Illustration by Fede Yankelevich.
Been reading “The Ultimate Music Guide - King Crimson: 21st Schizoid Men” while listening to six of their best studio albums. Does Prog Rock get any better!?
