Dachshund by Dachshund

Describing live music always seems out of place, especially when the event is quiet and intimate. There will always be a disconnect for the listener only privy to the recording. Fortunately these sounds were chronicled, and for those not attending, their absence might bring an alternate subjectivity when experiencing the event on their own accord. On this pair recordings by Dachshund, there is a feel of soothing felicity. Like watching a distant storm form and move in an amorphous direction. Meditative qualities of this natural event are pushed away. Wind and lightning draw reach in your direction. The droning vibrancy mutating into fierce claws. Dachshund has this similarity. A saxophone's soft breeze accompanied by percussion in the form of precipitation. Sometimes gentle, then powerful, always slightly unpredictable, this sonic gust has many facets. This is not a hurricane or tornado though, just an afternoon storm. Dachshund has excellent boundaries and never dislodges the listener from their resting place. The combination of drums and sax held on canvas by droning synthesizer is mesmerizing. Great patience and timing, with valid chaos held in hand. As these sonic currents move into audible range and energize those who listen, sounds precede on, leaving consciousnesses refreshed.

Peter Webb and John Gregg are Dachshund. North Georgia at its best with both artists and the Atlanta label Fall Break Records working together. Very limited with only thirty copies made. Impressive knowing both pieces were recorded on an iPhone.
