With the cold weather setting in most music events are heading back indoors. Although the majority of the big outdoor music festivals are over the Owl’s hosting a weeklong minifest that wraps up on Sunday. Of course there are plenty of opportunities to catch great live music that isn’t in conjunction with any kind of festival, though there are some additional fests out there as well.
“On their lyrical, meditative new album, Slant of Light (Thrill Jockey), the Philadelphia duo of harpist Mary Lattimore and keyboardist-guitarist Jeff Zeigler create the sonic equivalent of a dimly lit sauna, with all the enveloping warmth and permeating calm that implies,” writes Peter Margasak. “Their four seductive improvisations float leisurely, without sharp edges or dissonance. Lattimore, who’s collaborated with Meg Baird and Steve Gunn and in 2011 appeared on Thurston Moore’s acoustic album Demolished Thoughts, plucks cascades of resonant notes that Zeigler swathes in amorphous, caressing drones. Her harp’s natural tone complements Zeigler’s synths, and occasionally she electronically manipulates the instrument too—her notes sometimes bend crazily, or accelerate and decelerate in clusters.”
