There is not even one day in the whole year's calendar that I don't miss a few people who had a great influence on me and passed away. One of them is Kelly Churko - an accomplished improvisor who also happened to be a great guitar player.
Luckily we have some excellent archive recordings and a pretty vast discography.
And here goes one of those which he recorded with Cal Lyall and Tim Olive in Ochiai Soup in Tokyo from October 2011 and now coming to you via Bryan Day's Public Eyesore on cassette.
It is an almost 30 minute set divided between side A and B full of guitar and electronic noise - sometimes drifting towards scratchy and itchy noise, sometimes very poetic divergence set into an landscape of delayed shards. Long enough to keep you amused and admire the nuances and details, Short enough to think how soon people we love pass away and leave materials like this which still rock and still work to the advantage of curiosity. An excellent memory...
