Last night a disembodied tabletop stacked with intimidating looking electronics came through our door. It was carried in by both members of Bear Ears, which is another project that Billy Freed lends his prolific talents toward. It started off with a brief conversation about the latest Dada Trash Collage effort produced by Scott Colburn. The duo literally worked, ate, and slept at the Colburn household while recording their forthcoming LP and the recent Rain War EP. More of those details can be heard in the podcast.
Once all of the gadgets appeared to be in working order, Freed launched into a nonstop set of unreleased Dada material. This music is like watching a math equation dance. Every song weaves through a series of programmed but catchy beats, that eventually lead to a momentous climax showcasing a struggle between calculated thought and raw emotion. Heavy planning goes into these works, but they never lose the spark of spontaneity.
