White, as a member of Venom P Stinger, ░▐ ▌░ Dirty Three, and Xylouris White, is well known for his ░▐ ▌░ creative and idiosyncratic drumming. His singular abilities ░▐ ▌░ have also led to collaborations with Cat Power, PJ Harvey, ░▐ ▌░ and Bill Callahan among others. AndersonÆs prolific output as ░▐ ▌░ a solo performer, her mastery of traditional folk and blues ░▐ ▌░ forms and her abilities to make them entirely her own has ░▐ ▌░ established her as one of the most exciting and ░▐ ▌░ forward-thinking guitarists of the last decade. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ White and AndersonÆs considerable technical skills are used ░▐ ▌░ in the most inventive and unconventional manner on their ░▐ ▌░ debut duo recording, The Quickening. The duo's friendship and ░▐ ▌░ shared explorative nature inform these warm and daring ░▐ ▌░ improvisations. The QuickeningÆs remarkable performances take ░▐ ▌░ the listener on a journey of exuberant discovery. White and ░▐ ▌░ Anderson are instrumentalists whose voices are unmistakable ░▐ ▌░ and spellbindingly lyrical. Anderson unravels guitar ░▐ ▌░ traditions from across the globe into atmospheres all their ░▐ ▌░ own through improvisations and melodic lines that transform ░▐ ▌░ with each iteration. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ White implements an array of sticks, brushes, and techniques ░▐ ▌░ that imbue each rhythmic passage with its own distinct ░▐ ▌░ personality. Together their melodic flourishes cascade and ░▐ ▌░ twist upon one another, at times trading conversational ░▐ ▌░ exchanges, and at others drifting in unison as if lost in the ░▐ ▌░ same train of thought. Ecstatic pieces like ôGatheringö and ░▐ ▌░ ôThe Other Christmas Songö harken back to AndersonÆs playing ░▐ ▌░ with the improv-heavy Evolutionary Jass Band and carry with ░▐ ▌░ them a sense of perpetual motion. That feeling of urgency and ░▐ ▌░ maximalism is in turn contrasted by the open spaces and quiet ░▐ ▌░ subtleties of ôUnwrittenö and ôDiverö. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ The idea of a collaboration developed while on the road ░▐ ▌░ together in 2015, Anderson playing solo and White playing ░▐ ▌░ with Xylouris White. The Quickening began at the Portland ░▐ ▌░ studio Type Foundry in late 2018, where the duo initially ░▐ ▌░ agreed to meet and improvise and record. Happy with the ░▐ ▌░ recordings, the duo headed to Mexico City and into Estudios ░▐ ▌░ Noviembres, a time capsule of a studio from the 70Æs that had ░▐ ▌░ been largely closed before some young engineers took it over. ░▐ ▌░ The ôslight disorientationö of working in less familiar ░▐ ▌░ environments mirrored their willingness to plunge headfirst ░▐ ▌░ into exploring new sonic territory together. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Anderson purchased a new nylon string Ramos-Castillo guitar ░▐ ▌░ from a Mexican luthier just ahead of recording which lent to ░▐ ▌░ the spontaneity of ôThe Luckyö and ôThe Quickeningö. The duo ░▐ ▌░ did not rehearse or perform together prior to the recording ░▐ ▌░ sessions; as White puts it, ôitÆs good to suspend disbelief ░▐ ▌░ at this stage of playing.ö The Quickening is an improvised ░▐ ▌░ work guided by emotional intuition and executed by players ░▐ ▌░ whose mastery of their instruments is undeniable. The ░▐ ▌░ elegance of Jim White and Marisa AndersonÆs highly attuned ░▐ ▌░ collaboration lays in each playerÆs ability to empathetically ░▐ ▌░ spin their collective experience into music of potent and ░▐ ▌░ boundless beauty. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Proper reason: previous rip has wrong artist name, which is ░▐ ▌░ Jim White AND Marisa Anderson and nothing else - so it ░▐ ▌░ violates rule 3.1, rule 17, and note 3. This great album ░▐ ▌░ deserves a proper (until a retail comes, though the LP is ░▐ ▌░ sold out). ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Biygamykweuo7jog ░▐ ▌░ zaotse6yip4 ░▐ ▌░ https://marisaanderson.bandcamp.com/album/the-quickening ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Death to the robots! ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Biygamykweuo7jogzaotse6yip4
