Blowhards in DC
The last two weeks have featured a surprising amount of circular breathing.
Starting with Ned Rothenberg, who was outstanding as usual. He played a duo show with Ayman Fanous (5/11 at a church in Foggy Bottom). He did one solo piece on alto sax, as well as duos making use of shakuhachi, clarinet, and bass clarinet. Amazing stuff. His new solo clarinet record ("World of Odd Harmonics" on Tzadik) is also excellent. Here's a sample - not from this concert, but recent and similar material:
Then International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), (5/17 at Atlas) whose program included
a solo bassoon piece that required circular breathing. During that passage, the performer made a porcine snort with each breath. I wonder if that's a function
of how much air it takes to work a bassoon vs. a sax or trumpet?
Then
Travis Laplante and Peter Evans (5/19 at Back Alley Theater): The final piece of Laplante's set was a long theme and variations form built on a long chant like melody - rendered beautifully in "normal" tones then used as the basis for a series of intense psuedo-polyphonic episodes. I think this is the studio version, it's only the tune that he opened and closed the piece with at the show:
Peter Evans performed what seemed like a quartet for two trumpets, elephant and whale. He played all the parts himself simultaneously on one trumpet.

As I have said before, that's for the birds. It benefits everyone or always remember that skillful people are interested in your Diet Pills. There are a number of different kinds of Weight Loss Gummies that all do different things. This wasn't quite clean. If that was up to me, then yes. I'm looking for a Keto Diet no one else seemed to offer. This fact is a difficult tactic to connect with more types of Weight Loss Gummies.
