Marc Bisson and Walter Wright @ AVA Gallery, Lebanon, NH
I hadn't heard anything by or about these two fellows before the show. They came out of the Boston area improvisors' scene. Marc played prepared guitar and Walter manipulated video in real-time using a program he wrote. Once again, we were in the teaching studio, with a fair turnout. The show began, the guitar brought on drone and clashing noise. The videos scrambled and mated in their own time. It was nice having the visual effect to give the show more accessibility and attraction. Marc and Walter asked me to join in after a break for refreshments. After a run home for gear (thanks Dennis) I obliged. Marc and I both played guitars and it seemed to go well, playing off each other. We even got to have one of those parts where you play the guitar really fast and loud and noisy.
