Late Night Phone Call: A Community Gathered Around a Melody

https://katttatchley.bandcamp.com/album/duo

Ron Heglin's and my vocal duo focuses on experimentation and the creation of imagined places through the use of invented language, melodies, multiple tunings, drones, and amplification.

All of the tracks were recorded in the home where we have most often practiced over the past twenty years. Philip Perkins worked closely with us on the location recording and sound design. He placed a microphone close to each of us and in order to work with the home's resonances he placed a second mic pair high in the room and a third out in the hall/kitchen area. We later mixed the recordings from the close mics plus the room pair. The tracks on this CD are all from the same recording session, and presented in the same sequence as we performed them.

Our premier performance was held on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022 for the
