Live Forever N°˙ 1 --- a suite of improvised trio music recorded with no cuts and no overdubs at Specific Northwest in Los Angeles, California (January, 2024). For ease of listening it has been split into six tracks that, hopefully, demonstrate material unity and a meaningful arc. Isaac (alto sax ; clarinet ; bass clarinet) is joined here by Atticus Reynolds (drums) and the fabulous Dario Bizio (double bass). Listen on Bandcamp at the link above.

"By fulfilling creation's cycle of purification (dust to dust), the ground and biosphere contribute to the consummation of dust with wetness -- mess. The pro-creationist cycle of purification is transcendentally carried out through being recycled into dust over and over again." --- R.N.
