The Darkness of Stars at Eyedrum

Number Six came to visit at the Nunnery, and Friday night we played our gig at Eyedrum, which was fun and intense. It was also hazardous, meaning the situation contained both significance and uncertainty as to the outcome. The task was clear and failure was a real possibility.

The quintet:

Number Six: voice, autoharp
Sabitathica: guitar
L: drones, samples
Ash: upright bass
Mont: drums

The first time we played together as a group was the afternoon of the gig, when we ran through the set once.

The show was broadcast live to a limited internet audience, which might be a first for Eyedrum. And I have the multitrack audio, which I'm mixing later tonight.

The event was a success. We held together as a group. And everyone who came, stayed.

Musical events don't organize themselves and, except in rare situations, entropy and apathy rule the day. (But The Now Today Ensemble is never far from go-mode.)

On Friday night the Darkness of Stars met their challenge with grace and good spirit. The performance had qualities I didn't anticipate. A fine time was had by all.
