Jeff Gburek_Ephia_Keith Rowe: Live at Lida Project, Denver, Colorado. Full Recording.

   Some of you may not have known me long enough to know my obsessions and concerns. For 10 years I worked intensively with butoh, body-work, audio-spatiality (once called "psycho-acoustics") and improvisational music with the dancer Ephia Gburek
  The project was called Djalma Primordial Science   www.djalma.com   The subject of this weblog post however is the newly released digital album that documents one of Djalma Primordial Science's meetings with Keith Rowe, founding member of AMM, the person who has, as far as I can tell, still has the cap (feathered) for prepared guitar, as having taken it the furthest. 
  That this was a meeting between artists who took improvisation as a kind of sacrament should not be lost on the person who would listen to these pauses where distance overwhelms the front-lines in fog. This is what happened there in a there no longer there since this is also in a sense a field recroding of a demolished theater space in Denver called the Lida Project.

  In addition to thanking Ephia and Keith Rowe for this experience and these memories, I should add a few names. For one, Alana Deloach, who's set up the show at Lida Project. And we should thank the Lida Project itself as an organ, a cave for the imagination, as sonorous space now only in the arcana of our memories and the resonance one can hear in this recording. The other person to thanks is Ian Douglas-Moore who was the first responder to the emergency calls I made to record and music shops in Denver to find amplifiers for Keith to use. Additional thanks to whoever put us up that night. Special shouts out go to the wonderful people we met in Denver subsequent to than evening and who would invite I and Ephia back to perform several more times.
