Electro-acoustic duo Latitude/Longitude release their new 7" single "Solar Filters/Mother Evening" (free103point9 Audio Dispatch 031) at Zebulon with Zeke Healey, Brian Osborne, and other performers. Streamed live through Zebulon's web site (http://www.zebuloncafeconcert.com/) and relayed on free103point9 Online Radio. Two new songs from electro-acoustic duo Latitude/Longitude (Michael Garofalo and Patrick McCarthy) are out now as part of free103point9’s Audio Dispatch Series.
On the A-Side, Solar Filters, banjo and tenor guitar introduce the melody, which is picked up and echoed throughout by melodica. McCarthy’s mystic-cowboy vocals are sung through a contactmic’d banjo head, the strings, tuned to the notes of the song’s minimalist melody, resonating with each syllable. A stomping drum loop drives the song towards its climax of analog synthesizers and shortwave radio static (not sampled, but recorded as a performance, by tuning a radio while wandering around the studio).
The more textural B-side, Mother Evening, features “found” lyrics taken from various random-text, spam emails. Pedal steel guitar creates a swarmof- insects anxiety while prepared electric guitar weaves in and out of the vocal line and thumping floor tom.
Michael Garofalo and Patrick McCarthy began performing as Latitude/Longitude in 2004. They work with diverse sonic materials: test oscillators, homemade cassette tape and field recordings, radio transmissions (FM/AM/SW/CB), and toy electronics (broken and functional), as well as more traditional instruments, such as pedal steel guitar, banjo, mbira, and voice. In 2005 Latitude/Longitude released their selftitled debut album on their own imprint, Early Thieves. Absolute Locations, a full-length collection of improvisations from live recordings, will be released in a limited edition in 2008.
