Paul Lytton / Nate Wooley: Known/Unknown
ByAlthough the pair hail from different continentsLytton (UK) and Wooley (US)and the trumpeter is nearly 3 decades Lytton's junior, there is a kinship (don't say bromance) in their performance that defines them as sympathetic partners. This might be a necessary requirement to successfully traverse this rabbit hole. Both musicians explore the outside possibilities of their respective instruments and both utilize electronics to further disassemble the sound. The sound tends toward small gestures, magnifying silence and echoey reverberations that become, as Alice said, "curiouser and curiouser!" Without visuals, it is only a guess how some sounds were manufactured. Lytton has stepped away from a drum kit, favoring metal objects, wood, scrapes, tubes, and quiet electronic amplification. The same can be said of Wooley, his trumpet is quite often a simple tube producing air currents manipulated by electronic glitches and eerie echoes. The alien and strange logic found in this wonderland of sound is alluring and quite addictive.
