Date of release: Nov 10 2019
Fresh off his acclaimed solo album Fountain Fire (DC734, out earlier this year), Bill MacKay is
back to harmonic atom-splitting with all six of his guitar strings in this new collaboration with cellist
Katinka Kleijn, STIR.
Bill is an avid collaborator (see DC688, SpiderBeetleBee, with Ryley Walker), and over the
past seven years, he and Katinka have used live performance to build their chemistry into a
surprising, organic density, with sharply-etched colors drawn from avant-rock, folk, jazz classical
and experimental music. It is at once an unlikely and perfect pairing as both musicians are known
not only for their chops, but for their creativity, curiosity and range. Together they form a fluid,
intuitive, dialogical and improvisational pair.
Stir is centered on a series of MacKay's compositions, partially inspired by Hermann Hesse's
novel Steppenwolf. You can try following along with the book, but don't expect any Dark Side
of the Moon/Wizard of Oz-type moments. This is a concept unhindered by the conceptual, but
it has a beautiful through-line to its organization. The repetition and expansion of themes borrows
from the chamber music world, while the distortions, free play, and edge of much of the work
clearly draws from the duo's friends in noise and the avant-garde. Were Jim Hendrix, Henry
Flynt, John Cage, PJ Harvey, Duke Ellington, Eric Satie or Body/Head to appear in your
mind as this disc was spun in your house - no one would less than inspired!
