Live Music: Caroline Davis and Dustin Carlson

Featuring Caroline Davis on saxophone and Dustin Carlson on guitar and electronics, this improvisational duo performs selections from their debut album Sprites.

Sprites is a meeting between two improvisers in New York, who straddle the boundaries of several expressions of music. The sounds on this album are all improvised, with no written music or thoughts about the music exchanged before performing live in front of a sweet audience. Sprite holds several meanings, a fairy creature from old times, a ghost, a wild electrocurrent coming out of the tops of clouds when lightning strikes, and a repeating bitmapped image over a static background. The tracks of this album embody each one of these definitions, and with each repeated listen, you, too, will begin to see them.
