Fulton Bryant-Anderson is the General Manager of Pacific Lutheran University’s Lute Air Student Radio (LASR). At the Mast, he writes Fulton’s Music Room, Professor Plays and interviews various musicians about their art and culture.
Aver, Move 78: The Algorithm Smiles Upon You (2021, Village Live Records): Highly arranged jam sessions became modern jazz standards. The mixture of samples, live instrumentation and experimentation created a chill neo-fusion vibe. Listen to Sanctuary, Faye and Middling.
Douglas McCombs: VMAK<KOMBZ<<<DUGLAS<<6NDR7<<< (2022,Thrill Jockey Records): The long time member of Tortoise created an avant garde and free album. I advise to expect both chaos and serenity in the three track epic. Listen to Green Crown’s Step.
Sam Gendel: blueblue (2022, Leaving Records): Gendel composed another group of meditations. Born on a houseboat in Oregon, the album captured solitude and introspection. Listen to Yoko-jima (横縞, horizontal stripes), Kōshi (格子, checks) and Shippō (七宝, seven treasures of the Buddha).
