about
a bilateral, a symmetry - James O’Callaghan (2021)
A bilateral, a symmetry was created by manipulating recordings of improvisations and notated fragments by 8 of Vancouver’s most daring musicians. Prompted by Hard Rubber Director John Korsrud’s invitation to create something “totally free,” and in admiration of the polyvalence of the musicians, I drew on my diverse practices in electroacoustic music, contemporary classical composition, and electronic dance music, to create a piece intuitively and expressively, drawing on genre freely.

Pacifica Koral Reef
by Wadada Leo Smith, Henry Kaiser, Alex Vartysupported by 4 fans who also own “Iguana”
This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters!

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girlsupported by 4 fans who also own “Iguana”
Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend.
