The Cube Microplex - 31st March 2007

Silver Stairs Of Ketchikan supporting James Blackshaw with The School Of Trobar

 

Audio snatches knit together, an airborne shiver potently affixed. Consciousness expands in rainbow schisms, beauty that words struggle to depict.

First up was - Silver Stairs of Ketchikan - a solo off-shoot of the Thoughtforms collective. Namely one Charlie Romijn, who sat cross legged in amongst various effect boxes and electronic spaghetti. She mixed guitar/vocal/violin fragments to produce some angelic concoctions, that in the dark retraction of the room made my toes curl. Slightly shoegazery, she tapped into some magical narrative somewhere amidst all that loop/delay and capture trickery, something I'm eager to hear more of.
