Well travels, work, laziness, and frankly, concern - or lack there of - about the relevance or interest Pitch2Voltage might offer anyone reading this, have prevented Mr. Hanle and I from maintaining the blog. In an attempt to wrest credibility from a 6 month hiatus, I'm posting this, which I had intended to post in May.
Have you ever seen Cornelius perform? I had the good fortune last Monday. On tour to promote his first album in five years, Sensuous, the Japanese music genius-madman, Cornelius, aka Keigo Oyamada, and his band came to Park West - a befittingly European styled club with leather seats and a disco ball - to melt the minds of the hipsters and aging gen-Xers who populate Chicago's north side. I may only speak for myself, but leaving the concert I felt as if I were coming down from a week long LSD trip - without any of the side effects. I have not the authorial capacities to adequately describe this aural and visual spectacle without trivializing it. So I won't make the attempt.
Opening was the oh-so-cleverly named Holy Fuck, who I had not the good fortune to enjoy, my friend, however, was screaming their name repeatedly during Cornelius' set... I usually, I think for good reason, keep a distance from humorous writing...See Cornelius, if you have the chance.
If you've never listened to Cornelius I recommend starting with the album Point, which is fantastic.
