Susan Alcorn And I Await... The Resurrection of the Pedal Steel Guitar (2007)

Such sad news. I had the privilege to play with Susan at the Guelph Jazz Festival in 2019. Her performance brought me to tears, and she was one of the kindest people I'd ever met. What a loss. R.I.P. Susan. ❤️

I've been listening to a lot of Brotzmann over the last couple of weeks (apologies for all the posts). But this album takes the cake. Damn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUo2...

It's been fun to look up shows, musicians, and albums mentioned in the Brotzmann biography as I go along. Here's a particularly eccentric TV appearance I just read about. youtu.be/G1T-Pxkp6SY?...

The Brotzmann biography has me revisiting a lot of old European free improv records. This music is so damn potent. Here's an album I've been listening to a bunch over the last few days. Bailey was such an incredible solo player. www.youtube.com/watch?v=otV4...

I have a show coming up next week, and I can’t decide if I should play jaw harp, guitar, or just laugh the whole time. Big decision.

"The homemade, bare-bones intimacy of these recordings, varying in fidelity and replete with tape hiss, means you’re almost able to smell the wooden kitchen table, the gas stove, the dog curled in the corner, that might have surrounded John Fahey as he played."

Over the holidays, I got really obsessed with banging on my untuned guitar and hollering nonsensically. This is the result.

For those of you with an interested in my most obscure musical endeavours, I just put together a free improv acoustic guitar album. Pretty wild stuff. Check it out. #untuned chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/clowni...

I love this—when an artist invests energy and time into making imperceptible changes that, nonetheless, bring the piece closer to how they want it to be.

FYI, I've decided to mostly use this account to talk about my nature recordings and look at bird photos. However, in real life I'm into lots of other stuff - acting, improvised music++ (often aka chik white). To keep up with that side of things, check out my Instagram: www.instagram.com/chikwhite

A pair of taxidermy kingfishers I saw at the Museum of Natural History in Halifax yesterday. I see these birds around my neighbourhood from time to time. But they’re quick and elusive. I’ve never been able to record one.

Though I don’t personally use Spotify too often, I know a lot of people do. So I’ve been regularly uploading seascape recordings to the platform. If you enjoy listening to nature sounds, waves, birds and that sort of thing, feel free to check out my page. open.spotify.com/artist/1CZNA...
