about

Herein find an exemplary sampling of the Aerocade aesthetic, carefully cultivated over the past seven years. New perspectives on underrepresented genres from artists typically underrepresented in their geography and/or demographics provide for a rich soundscape in this compilation. You will hear an homage to the plucky Sumatra chicken, encounter clocks as sympathetic characters, and experience improvisatory drone-based alchemy.

“I Am Not Perfect, Neither Are You,” written and performed by the Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker features deep drone pulses underpinning an evocative electronic kaleidoscope of sounds. Keyboardist/vocalist/composer Alchymie and contrabassist/improviser Gregg Skloff also use drone to great effect in “Pluto,” the pull of the bow on the bass strings creating deep space vibrations as shimmery electronic sounds lull you into a trance. A/B Duo similarly mix the electronic with the analog in Matthew Joseph Payne’s “Echoloquacious” for flute, vibraphone, drum kit, and Gameboy (LSDJ) in a vigorous dance.

“1232 Lyfe,” written by Alexander Lloyd Blake and performed by Blake and choral group Tonality invites us to a different kind of dance, as individual voices entwine into complex patterns that coalesce into compelling beats to underscore an urgent social message. A similar tapestry of individual rhythmic patterns intertwining to create a complex, clocklike choreography is heard in Jennifer Bellor’s “Dance of Hands,” performed by percussion ensemble Clocks in Motion. Cellist Hannah Addario-Berry weaves her own web of sound in her performance of Gloria Justen’s “Sonaquifer,” the sinuous gestures creating the illusion of a multitude of voices.

“Cock Flight” by Kimberly R. Osberg pits two piccolos—performed by Elizabeth Robinson’s flute quartet—against one another to evoke the “plucky” energy of the Sumatra chicken. Lanier Sammons seemingly pits two reeds against each other in the corybantic “Strata,” performed by Post-Haste Reed Duo. This is followed by a stark mood change in the tranquil ebb and flow of Sammons' “Bound.”

Nestled in the middle of this compilation, and perhaps epitomizing the Aerocade aesthetic in its pleasing subversion, we hear Isaac Io Schankler perform their bizarrely wonderful “remix” of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, in which, yes, “the bass is a bar late and the melody is a bar early.”
