about

Introducing Volume 4 in Chris Forsyth's ongoing Solar Live series of high quality live releases. To be released May 1, 2020 on Bandcamp's second "no fee" day, proceeds from this special download-only release will go directly to the musicians to help offset lost touring & gig income as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.

This 26-minute take of the improvisational vehicle "Techno Top" (from Forsyth's 2019 "All Time Present" album) features a cohort of longtime Forsyth collaborators, multi-tracked live by house engineer Onur Gül at Nublu in New York City, September 27, 2019, on the final date of Forsyth's month-long residency at the club and mixed by Jeff Zeigler at Uniform Recording in Philly. .

The all star rhythm section of Peter Kerlin (Sunwatchers) and Ryan Jewell (Ryley Walker, Mosses) is augmented by Brent Cordero on swirling combo organ and the front line of Forsyth and Tom Malach (Garcia Peoples) on electric guitars and NYC free jazz legend Daneil Carter (Other Dimensions in Music, Test) on horns.

In keeping with Forsyth's exploratory ethos, the group takes the song's framework - just a groove and a few melodic sign posts, really - and unspools a complete re-imagination, a dynamic, pulsating, relentlessly patient rhythm and timbre workout suggesting Don Cherry sitting in on a Liquid Liquid + Young Marble Giants jam session in a German disco.
