DAVID WATSON
JESSICA CATRON
Critics describe David Watson's work on highland bagpipes as "the first major furtherance of Yoshi Wada's concept of psychedelic bagpipe minimalism" and as "what Albert Ayler's never-recorded bagpipe side might've sounded like, had he been more influenced by psychotropics than Mary Maria." Originally from New Zealand, and a long time player in New York's avant scene, this was Watson's first Los Angeles appearance. Los Angeles based cellist Jessica Catron occupies many musical microcosms. Whether it is performing the works of James Tenney or the 250+ miniatures written for the Microscore Project with violinist Johnny Chang, Catron uses her instrument to reveal the sublimity of the small. In this rare peformance of her solo work, Catron used microtonality and microsounds to audibly magnify nuances otherwise lost in the sonic macrocosm.
