Cooking parties for everyone STORE cd's/t'shirts/books CONTACT August September	TA'WIL PRODUCTIONS PRESENT: tracks,paintings & texts below This CD is the live recording of an emulsion: bass & voice whisking words & music — & real cream on track # 6! “La crème de la crème,” you might say! Over the years Nicole Peyrafitte & Michael Bisio have developed an ongoing and challenging conversation based on their unconditional dedication to their chosen modes of expression: Bisio as one of the finest contemporary double bass players across a spectrum of genres, Peyrafitte as atypical multimedia artist combining voice & visuals, poetry & cooking, video & performance. Whisk! Don’t churn! celebrates that rare occasion: a profoundly original quest. It was recorded live at Justin’s in Albany, N.Y. on 20 November 2008. Ce CD est l’enregistrement “live” d’une émulsion: double basse & voix incorporent mots & musique — avec de la vraie chantilly sur la piste # 6! “La crème de la crème,” on peut le dire! Depuis quelques années Nicole Peyrafitte & Michael Bisio ont engagé une conversation stimulante basée sur leur dévouement inconditionnel à leurs modes d’expression spécifiques : Bisio est un des bassistes contemporains les plus prisés au répertoire riche & divers ; Peyrafitte, une artiste multimédia atypique qui combine travail de la voix & travail plastique, poésie & cuisine, vidéo & performance. Whisk! Don’t churn! célèbre cette quête profonde et originale. L’enregistrement a été réalisé à Justin’s, Albany, N.Y. le 20 novembre 2008.
