#John Truscinski

[bandcampsnoop]

10/16/20.

Following up on the buick post from 10/5 that mentioned the short list of guitar-drum duos, I will add Gunn-Truscinski Duo. Soundkeeper follows Bay Head, their third album and one of my favorites from 2017. From the bandcamp notes:

With a decade-long partnership that’s far more like a real band than their discography might imply, "Soundkeeper" is the duo’s fourth proper album. No one-off blowing session carved into tracks, "Soundkeeper" is a focused realization of the pair’s full dynamic sweep. It’s music that goes straight for it, ecstasy and flotation and otherness, neither songs nor jams. Perhaps more like windows. Or events. It’s music that immediately goes out, gets out, stays out, has always been out, a glowing radius around the amp and drum kit, intimate even at volume.

I was transfixed by the photograph on the back of the album while listening to the track Ocean City. A playground basketball court enveloped by fog. No pickup games are being played during the pandemic. The improvised jam sessions of outdoor hoops have been paused. And so the ghostly fog settles in for a slow break. That is what it sounds like to me anyway.

Gunn-Truscinski Duo — Soundkeeper (Three Lobed)

Photo by Vera Marmelo

Soundkeeper by Gunn-Truscinski Duo

The long track, “Soundkeeper,” one of two live recordings included on this double disc album, distills long glowing drones into translucent purity. It lays bloopy, shape-shifting whammy notes across glistening acres of hum. It floats a glitter of picked notes top serene, Caribbean-warm washes of ambient sound, and kicks long meditations into motion with restless, antic drums. It is the clear centerpiece of this wonderful album, the fourth from the duo of Steve Gunn and John Truscinski, and though you can envy the people making muted noises of approval from the room where it was recorded, you can also appreciate the way it spreads to fill a sunny, daydream-y afternoon wherever you are right now. 

Gunn is better known for his songwriter albums, but he started as a guitar improviser. The first Gunn-Truscinski album came out a decade ago, and they’ve all been pretty wonderful. Still, this one is special, for its ambition, its clarity and its fundamental gorgeousness. For someone who L-O-V-E-D The Unseen In Between, this is a hard admission to make but Soundkeeper is better, maybe the best thing Gunn has ever put his name on. 

Of course, it’s not just his name, but also John Truscinski’s; they are clearly equal partners. His work is varied and thoughtful and wholly musical, whether he is finding an erratic, skittery pulse in “Gam,” rolling awe-struck cymbals in “Distance” or rough-housing euphorically, all over the kit, in the long cresting climax of “Pyramid Merchandise.”  

Soundkeeper contains 72 minutes of music, and while there are no dead spots, the album really hits its stride in the second half of the first record and gains traction through the long second disc. “Pyramid Merchandise,” the other live cut, starts the upward trend on Side B of disc one, starting quiet but blooming out into an explosive rock groove, the synergies between Truscinski and Gunn loose and freewheeling. “Ocean City, which closes out that side, is my favorite song on either disc, dropping big bloopy whammied notes like honey as the drums roll with complicated purpose, cymbals and toms in conversation. “Curtain” abstracts the blues into radiant, vibrating bent notes, left to hang and change and decay in the air. 

 The recording closes with another stem-winder, a long meandering tribute to Funkadelic’s Eddie Hazel, whose work on “Maggot Brain” ranks high on the list of best guitar solos ever. Gunn pays homage loosely, without quotation, gettting  the aura, not the notes, that made Hazel so great. “For Eddie Hazel” is a wild, incendiary close to an album that veers between pristine tranquility and full-throated freak out. If you like guitars — hell if you like music — don’t sleep on this disc.

Body/Head + Gunn-Truscinski Duo - PhilaMoca, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 26, 2018

These two dynamic duos just wrapped up a short east coast tour and PhilaTaper has recordings of the final date. Nice. Body/Head (Kim Gordon, Bill Nace) conjure up thunderclouds of pure sound -- I still need to dig into their new LP! Gunn-Truscinski Duo (Steve Gunn, John Truscinksi) show off their unparalleled instrumental rapport. Beautiful jams.

Gunn-Truscinski Duo + Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society - The Storehouse, Galien, MI - 2018-04-22

Everything kind of came together for this one (wind aside, more on that below) - amazing venue, great folks, two new favorite bands that I hadn’t had the chance to see, and most definitely the nicest day of the year in what had been a pretty lousy spring in Michigan.

I was super excited to see both bands, and left very happy. Both Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society’s 2017 release, Simultonality, and Gunn-Truscinski’s, Bay Head were among my favorite records last year. Both remain in heavy rotation. It was ridiculous to see both bands on the same bill - check out their records!

The recordings came out mostly pretty good. I did have a little wind to deal with, and you can hear it show up from time to time - it’s a bummer. But I think I mitigated it for the most part in post-production, and the performance shines through.

Thanks to Michael & Penny for being such swell hosts - it was a really amazing day & I look forward to getting back to future shows!

NYC Taper kicks off 2018 with a bang!

GUNN-TRUSCINSKI DUO: BAY HEAD

Steve Gunn and John Truscinski are longtime collaborators and their latest release Bay Head evidences a well-developed relationship between the two. This meditative collection of guitar-drum instrumentals sound distinctly crafted, with subtle progressions that are always constrained before the point of free form or climax, and yet always hinting at something more.

2017 Albums

I’ve never been inclined to compile a best of the year list before. I have, however, found some great music from other people’s lists over the last few days, so I thought I’d share the albums that I really enjoyed listening to this year (or at least the ones I remembered when writing this). I think it is good to support musicians by buying direct from them or the label, so I have included links where I have been able to find them. The list is in no particular order. 

Michael Chapman - 50 Chicago/London Underground - A Night Walking Through Mirrors Nadah El Shazly - Ahwar Anton Hunter - Article XI Bitchin Bajas - Bajas Fresh Chuck Johnson - Balsams Gunn-Truscinski Duo - Bay Head Six Organs of Admittance - Burning the Threshold Wooden Wand - Clipper Ship Les Filles de Illighadad - Eghass Malan Richard Osborn - Endless Favourite Animals - Favourite Animals Joan Shelley - Joan Shelley Tamikrest - Kidal Oneida - Live At Secret Project Robot Konstrukt with Hawkins, Spicer & Wilkinson - Lotus  Nicole Mitchell - Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds Lina Capra Vaccina - Metafisiche del suono Prana Crafter - MindStreamBlessing Entropi - Moment Frozen Anthony Pasquarosa with John Moloney - My Pharaoh, My King Four Tet - New Energy* On Fillmore - On Fillmore Richard Dawson - Peasant Rick Tomlinson - Phases of Daylight Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society - Simultonality Tonstartssbandht - Sorcerer Bill MacKay & Ryley Walker - SpiderBeetleBee Trad Gras och Stenar - Tack For Kaffet Brooklyn Raga Massive - Terry Riley In C The Weather Station - The Weather Station
