about

The Sound Of Waking
•
The human mind reacts to sounds by reaching for memories, pulling them out to help identify what is heard. The beauty of In The Waking Hour is, that our memories frequently fool us. In the midst of listening, you might find yourself asking, “Who is making that sound?” The music here often blends together, leaving the sounds unidentifiable as to their maker. Is it percussion? Is it voice? Is it bass or electronics? Similarly, you may find yourself trying to decide if a sound is acoustic or electric in nature.
•
Joni, Barry, and Michael demonstrate a great degree of empathy for each other, and for each other’s sounds. It’s difficult to imagine that this recording is the first time they ever played together. But they are all seasoned improvisation veterans, having played, and crossed paths at, various monthly events in the Milwaukee music scene. The best music is multi-layered and tends to reveal more upon repeated listening. In The Waking Hour reveals something new each time you play it.

Driftwood
by Simon Barker: drums

I've never heard anything else like this. I was fortunate to see Simon in Australia last January at MOFO and his playing and ideas are unique. This album blows me away. Check it out! Michael Bettine

SACRED GONG TWO
by ANDREA CENTAZZO

I've stolen a lot of what I know about percussion from Andrea. He's a true original and creates beautiful music. You owe it to yourself to check this album out. Michael Bettine

Illusory
by JARBOE

I love this recording and find that it takes me to other realms. I often play it when I need to be in a creative mood. Jarboe's music seems to know me better than I know myself. Michael Bettine
