CAPITALIST BRAIN PARTY no. 2 is an album length improvisation, manufactured by seven players accompanying a field recording of pummeling rain on a structure. Given the task of responding to what preceded, while constructing space for what follows, players laid sheet upon sheet of sound in sequential isolation. Procedurally arranged as a 'double quartet', nodding to Ornette Coleman's 'Free Jazz', group occupation of the imagined space is rendered with minimal interference. First takes were encouraged, and preparation was limited to steeling oneself to stay the course.
Just as in a live improvisation, empathy, imagination and accommodation were paramount, seeking to discover the togetherness of a collective organism, in spite of that which separates us. While the COVID pandemic very much set the stage for this experiment, the true watershed of our social fabric, revealing itself today as much as any time, is the unequal, non-neutral construct of capitalism. CAPITALIST BRAIN PARTY no. 2 recognizes and stands in defiance of this cruel house.

These small plastic puzzles, similar to the gewgaws given away by petroleum and detergent manufacturers, were found over a wide area, as if they had fallen from the sky. Millions had been produced, although their purpose was hard to see. Later it was found that unusual objects could be made from them. ... more
