View this email in your browser News and Notes  Happy New Year! I'd like to thank everyone for their support last year. It was a very creative time for me and I appreciated your collaborations, invitations, attendance, patronage and participation in all of my creative endeavors. Now on with the news and upcoming events for February. Long/Zalek Duo on Lumpen Radio WLPN-LP 105.5 FM 7pm Tuesday February 12, 2019 Last year Sara Zalek and I visited Steelworkers Park and improvised with the soundscape using handmade electronics. "Sara Zalek  is an artist, choreographer, and curator rooted in Butoh and investigations of personal identity. She is obsessed with time travel, experimental science, hybrid animals, permaculture, and the intentional act of transformation.​"Our work connects creativity with the resilience, recovery and reuse of these industrial sites on the southeast side of Chicago. We made several recordings of our dialogue with the soundscape which be compiled for a digital album and cassette to be released on a Chicago based label Reserve Matinee. Sara and I will perform an improvised set with soundscapes we recorded at SteelWorkers Park last year on Todd Carter's BelAir Radio program at 7pm on Lumpen Radio WLPN-LP 105.5 FM.  Angel Bat Dawid & tha Brothahood / ADFL Quartet / Eli Namay Cafe Mustache 9pm Wednesday February 13, 2019 I will be playing synths in the Brothahood wednesday night. I've been playing with Angel Bat Dawid regularly since September of 2017. She is a critically acclaimed composer and improviser with a new album called "the Oracle" on International Anthem.    Espinoza/Long Duo Ignition Project Space 7:30pm Friday February 22, 2019 This is debut of a new project with fellow member of tha Brothahood, multi-instrumentalist, improviser and visual artist Xristian Espinoza. We combine electronics and free playing evoking the multiverse, quantum entanglement and the decolonization of listening where we claim our own timbres and sounds but also listening to and out for each other. Xris Espinoza - sax, percussion Norman W. Long - electronics (0-coast synth, contact mics, percussion)   Album Review/Downloads and Cassettes for Sale Electro-Acoustic Dubcology I-IV was given a favorable review and made the best of 2018 list by The Popcorn for Breakfast Blog, by Robert Beveridge. Here's what he wrote: "Whatever magic the powers that be worked to bring this to national attention should be praised far and wide, because Norman Long is doing something wonderful with this mashup of minimally-treated field recordings (think back to 2007 AotY Scenery of the Border, from Kiyoshi Mizutani, as a touchstone; Long is perhaps not quite as obsessed with birds, but you’ll find ‘em here), silence, static, and low, almost Thomas Köner-level minimal drone."
