Thanks to Dr Engel for sending in the following account of the middle-aged hell-raising phenomenon that is Slow Music in Portland.
"Glorious !! Front row center, able to see all the glances and emotions .. both of artists listening and performing. And how great is Fred Chalenor !!!!Two long sets (approaching 60 minutes each). First set with Fred and Robert in the main voice, with Hector wrapping things up with a sonic crescendo. Second piece had percussive interplay (and I mean play) between Matt and Bill, Hector’s sonic painting and Peter demonstrating that nice things CAN be done to guitar strings with a plastic fork.
The two hours seemed like 30 minutes, yet I was very satisfied by the quaintity (and quality).
Thanks to Fred,Robert,Hector,Matt, Peter and especially Bill for instigating Slow Music."
