Invert - Truth Serum Kari Tieger - Sonatine pour violon et piano Chris Murphy - "Night of the Hunter" James Sudakow - "Black" ### Hello everybody, Invert makes a second appearance on this show - the string quartet with two cellists. In between their last appearance and this one, the group has released a CD called The Strange Parade. This is the final cut from that disc, a tune called Truth Serum. Kari Tieger, a pianist and composer out of Riverside, Rhode Island, is on for her second appearance as well. This is a recently composed duet with violinist Lauren Benowitz. Chris Murphy is an electric violinist fron Los Angeles, currently supporting his recent release Luminous. I confess I hadn't heard of Chris before he sent me his CD, but his disc features two musicians I have had a great deal of respect for for some time: Mike Watt (formerly of fIREHOSE and The Minutemen) and Nels Cline (of Wilco and, incidentally, Mike Watt's touring band). This tune features Nels on guitar - and he and Chris sound amazing together. James Sudakow is an up-an-coming artist out of Long Beach, California. His latest release, Green is an ambitious progressive rock exploration of soud and texture. A very engaging and enjoyable listen. Next week finds me in Seattle. I'll do my best to have a show out by next Monday. But we'll see. Thanks for listening! Mark Allender, producer-hostwww.bowed.org   Dedication of the Doodlebug Memorial - 31 Jul 05.
