Song Shapes
Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
If this collection of songs were a sculpture exhibit, you'd see large,
branching forms, little curlicues, boxes-within-boxes, daintily shaped
human figures, welded girders, and unchiseled blocks of marble. On
exhibit are songs by people who are offering new options for the shape
of songs: Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice, Alvin Curran, Little
Wings, Becky Stark, Ana Moura, Islaja, Elephant Micah, Diane Cluck, Amy
Kohn, and others.
