Wrong Path In A Garden Maze: Nels Cline / William Winant Duo

www.reachofresonance.com

This material was shot during production of the feature documentary "The Reach Of Resonance," directed by Steve Elkins, but was not used in the the film.

"When I first saw Nels and William perform together, it was with Thurston Moore and Mats Gustafsson at UCLA. It was one of the most firebreathing performances of improvisation I've ever witnessed. In the midst of working on a documentary that eventually evolved into "The Reach Of Resonance," I invited Nels to meet up with William and I, at William's studio in Oakland, California in 2005 to improvise together once again. What I discovered when Nels arrived, was that he and William had never actually met! They had merely shaken hands prior to taking the stage for their previous collaboration.

This clip is a short segment I edited together of the music that they produced that day, which was radically different from the napalm they unleashed the last time they collided. This time around, they conjured something more akin to a child taking the wrong path in a garden maze...which perhaps in the long run, turns out to be the right one...who is to say?"

Jesus christ, that was intensely incredible. Certainly some skill at work in that room!
