Live at Union Station

StrangeFlow Oh boy - ever since I listened to BlueBlue the first time, I'm fascinated of Sam Gendel's work - unbelievable, that he's in that clown core project too. An artist between lots of genres and bringing out something new and relevant (at least to me). Sweet live performance of an ambient/jazz set, love George Carlin text too! Favorite track: Cosmic Love.

oddsignature Love it ever since I've found it on YouTube. Great to be able to pay for this!

about

- This is a solo performance by SG, recorded May 19, 2019, in the Waiting Hall of Union Station in Los Angeles.

- Instruments used include alto saxophone with an early version of his poly-sax effect, along with a Suzuki Waraku III synthesizer.

- In "Cosmic Love", at 04:27, you can hear the train announcer reading the preface to the book When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops? by George Carlin: "I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside. My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

- Moments before going on stage SG asked if the train announcer would read this at any point during his set over the intercom system, and somehow they agreed. No one knew when they would read it, so it is easy to miss.

- "Miss U Sonny" is dedicated to the memory of Sonny Abegaze.

Just discovered Sam Wilkes and some of his work and bass playing, and arrived to this record. It reminds me a lot to John Hassell/Eno era a bit more jazzy, and all the ambient music from the 80’s. I love it! Santi Umbert

This album has such an incredible atmosphere; such gentle, tasteful playing. Dylan Day's guitar work is outstanding. Love to throw this record on a rainy or snowy morning with my coffee. Alec Beloin
