snacktime - ali naeini @ davelybob's virtual birthday party
Friday Oct 02, 2020
Friday Oct 02, 2020
two years ago on his birthday, davelybob unexpectedly had to put down his dog after a sudden turn in health. last year on his birthday (the big four oh), he was at the hospital with his wife, who was recovering from brain surgery. this year covid quarantine began just a week or so before his birthday. determined to make some goddamn lemonade, he booked himself a birthday concert with some of his favorite acts nationwide on facebook live, one of the very first online fests to pop up during the pandemic.
if you didn't catch ali naeini playing his santoor (persian hammered dulcimer) when he lived in st louis, well that's your bad, dumbass- we tried to tell you! he was already a regular performer at festival of nations when he befriended davelybob at their day job. We quickly booked him on a way out weirdo wednesday, and everyone went wild for him. collaborations with percussionists drew gowran and alberto patino followed, and prior to his move to san francisco, he was toying with ideas for a fusion band blending rock and several global traditional musics, which he was jamming out with some members of the st. louis symphony orchestra. in an alternate universe somewhere, you are all going ape shit over that right now.
ali is dedicated to his instrument in a way that in our long careers we have rarely seen, and obscenely modest about his immense talent. he's got a wicked sense of humor too.
thank you for playing my birthday party ali! we love you and miss you! let's talk soon, i have some ideas.

snacktime - animals rule oslo @way out weirdo wednesday #43
Thursday Oct 01, 2020

animals rule oslo is the once and future collaboration of david bell (jaded evil lambs, etc) and john forrest (sunwyrm, aluminum sasquatch trio). Their performance from the last way out weirdo wednesday back on march 4th (did you parse that properly? hmmm, probably...) is as yet their only recording, but no doubt not their last.
how's that for a brief and concise blurb, eh? lol.

snacktime - instinct control @ kismet creative center 3/25/2016

"action permeates as fiber—an unwitting participant breathes and the act is suddenly thrown from a predicted path. resist urges to tighten constraint. re-imagine rigid systems as fluid opportunity: //instinct control// -- outmoded technologies, devices, pathways, turned upon themselves and us in new ways of being. metonymic transmitters and receivers all."
this performance was recorded by davelybob at his 37th birthday party at the sorely missed kismet creative center (you can catch tommy slinging his vinyl at wax rats now if you wanna say hi and catch up).
instinct control for this performance consisted of ryan t. dunn, his hands, a reel-to-reel player, his foot, a vcr, his other foot, and an answering machine.
