Morgan Packard and Joshue Ott highlight an evening celebrating
the release of their CD/DVD, Airships Fill the Sky / Unsimulatable,
on Anticipate Recordings. Packard’s music and Ott’s
visuals complement each other beautifully, augmenting each note
and line with homemade software techniques and the close communication
of their respective computers.
Fragmented elements of techno, house, post-ambient and breakbeat
oriented microsound are folded inside processed cello, saxophone
and accordion, (un)looping in a manner that clearly reflects the
intention to pay homage to a host of stylistic tendencies while
stretching them into new forms.
Ott’s visuals are created and implemented using his superDraw
platform. With the use of color being alternately subtle and extreme
- amidst contrasting black and white - Ott bends lines and movements
in order to create improvised hand drawn forms which rest in a
comfortable space between minimalism, psychedelia and curious
simplicity.
The accompanying performance for the first show is by Anticipate
head, Ezekiel Honig, whose warm and intimate take on referential
techno is slowed down to the pace of molasses scurrying up a hill.
The second show opening slot belongs to The Curly Wurlies - a
band whose combination of acoustic instruments and live electronics
filters the avant concert hall through the sensibilities of textural
ambient music.

A few press quotes about the release:
"Their relationship is rooted in years of close improvisation,
but the quality and connectedness of image and sound belie the
single-take necessity of entire pieces, turning "unsimulatable"
events into structures that seem all but inevitable." –
Earplug
"This collection manages to systematically re-invent and
reconfigure genres as diverse as breakbeat, ambient electronica,
and even techno and house in one beautifully crafted album that
effortlessly bristles with creativity." – White
Line
"…comes with the highest possible recommendation. Brilliant."
– Smallfish
