Next up in The Seltzer Salon is the wonderful Eve Maret. Her new album, New Noise, is such a fantastic surprise (wrote a little more about it in last week’s Capsule Garden). I love when an artist goes into a new(ish) direction, especially when they take elements of their work and reconfigure them into something different. This […]
Solo parent week rolls on as the heat in Tulsa gets worse and worse. At one point the thermometer on our porch read 112 today, so that’s great. There’s no let-up in sight, either, but hey that’s what we all have to look forward to, I guess. Woohoo! Look, I’m tired as all hell today, […]

Maret says this […]

Listening to these four pieces unfold, it’s a study on how sound can move and fill in empty spaces. The first piece snarls like a buzzsaw, severing ideas at the root as the notes stretch and growl until bubbling arpeggios […]
