Today, David Moore presents himself threefold for Northern Spy’s Across the Horizon series. Three pieces, three projects, three compositional approaches.
First in his natural state, alone at a piano, reflecting on the idea of home. A singular concept, open to redefinition, much like the sole melody and its subtle shift in presentation throughout the piece, it is a construct refracted and reframed, as slippery as memory.
Secondly, in duet with expert fiddle player Stephanie Coleman. David destabilizes the tonal center of Stephanie’s neo traditional fiddle lament with pump organ drones that are as close to tambura as to bagpipes as to early modular synthesis experimentation.
Finally, in trio formation as Cowboy Sadness, an egoless collaboration with Peter Silberman of The Antlers and Nicholas Principe of Port St Willow. This track leaves behind the Midwest planes for… Lounge Ax? Channeling the more wide eyed exponents of Chicago’s 90 post rock boom. Breezy, open & entirely unburdened.
