Around 2008, Eric and our friend Andy Laties founded Urchestra, a freeform experimental band dedicated to interpreting Kurt Schwitters tone poem, Ur Sonate (or Sonata In Primeval Sounds). They both share a love of jazz and dada, so this seemed natural. Rebecca Migdal, Andy's wife, joined on vocals. Over the years, a number of artists and musicians have participated. There's also been some of the participants who have passed. Valerie Caris- Blitz, Eric's first wife. Pronoblem. John Landino. So it seemed like the moment should be seized to do a definitive Urchestra recording. Though Glove, (aka Josh Selman) was not able to make it due to being across the country at his wife Alison Knowles retrospective .
However we were joined by Clubhouse Studio owners Karl Berger and Ingrid Sertso (who's vocal work I'm now getting into as a result of this.) I would have loved to spend some time checking out Woodstock, but maybe another day.
