Here’s Theatre Intangible podcast 109: Lyrebird Artist Showcase, recorded on February 15
th, 2013.

Lyrebird is an experimental improv duo featuring Jeremy Bennett on electronics and Craig Schenker on saxophone and flute. Jeremy takes samples of Craig’s live sounds and weaves them into ever-evolving loops, which also feature field recordings and electronic synthesis. Craig then improvises new parts over Jeremy’s creations. We recorded this session in several short improvs. I later reordered the improvs and performed a bit of editing. You can hear the unedited sessions at the band’s Soundcloud page.

Lyrebird performed live at Noa Noa a month and a half after this podcast was recorded, and I’m including that performance as a free download. Download the live set here.

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard something as breathtaking as Peter Walker’s lost 1970 studio recording Has Anybody Seen Our Freedoms? There are plenty of technically proficient fingerstyle guitarists out there, but Peter has something incredibly rare. His playing is a manifestation of his very being.

Just go listen to the songs and you’ll see what I’m getting at.

Peter Walker will be performing on Wednesday, February 12th at the west side space Nashville Friends Meeting. My first encounter with the venue was last Friday’s Mind Over Mirrors show. The main room is a large auditorium with hardwood floors and a church-style vaulted ceiling. I could easily see it becoming one of my favorite places to see live acoustic music.

DO NOT miss this show. Opportunities like this don’t come around very often.

Nashville Friends Meeting is an alcohol-free space. For those who use Facebook, you can find out more on the event page. Thanks to Chris Davis for organizing another amazing show.

An Evening with Peter Walker
Wednesday, February 12th, doors 7:30 p.m., show 8 p.m., $10
