Earlier this year, Isaac Brock brought about 2,400 of his disciples aboard the inaugural Ice Cream Floats, a festival cruise during which his band Modest Mouse performed three sets across a four-day journey between Miami and the Dominican Republic. Brock, initially reluctant, wanted to route the ship from Seattle to Alaska, figuring it’d be a logical backdrop for the Pacific Northwest band’s songs about isolation—he only acquiesced to tropical waters so that their “dumb rock music” wouldn’t disrupt northern nature preserves. Three decades since Modest Mouse’s debut album and two since “Float On” propelled them to MTV stardom, a cruise…

“Good evening dear Sylvain, I've recorded a performance of your score #86. Best regards, L.” The union that sees the art of graphic notation of Sylvain Chauveau and the sound practice of Luigi Turra intersect from here, in September 2022. An almost natural fusion between similar sensibilities, both poised between visual art and sound. In common there is the profoundly poetic approach to the respective subjects, the elegance of the minimal gesture, the active value of the pause as a significant waiting space. Neither of the two components aims to define a concluded narrative vector, acting rather as a trace…
