WATIV, live the Mudlark Theater

WATIV is Will A Thompson IV (keys, laptop), James Singleton (bass, trumpet, effects), Chris Alford (guitar, effects), and Simon Lott (drums, effects).  The music of WATIV defies categorization but can be described as experimental electronic free jazz.  

This performance was recorded live at the Mudlark Theater, an old house in the St. Roch neighborhood that has been converted into a lovely performance space.  WATIV takes full advantage of the acoustics of the room, with each of the four musicians setting up in a different corner and placing the audience directly in the middle of the band.  The sounds surround the listener as they reverberate off of centuries old wooden architectural components.  An unexpected contribution to this performance came from an apparently stoned neighbor lady who was inspired by the music to add in her own sound effects, making the experience even more surreal.  The entire sonic journey is offered as one uninterrupted track, so just kick back, turn it on, and prepare to be transported to another dimension courtesy of WATIV.
