Evidence - Final Goodship Tuesday '2009; 2019

Tracks list

There was a time in the early noughties when a little bar in Troy, New York
played home to some of the most bleeding edge computer music and video work
being done anywhere. Late Tuesday nights at Positively Fourth Street were a
swirl of hypnotic visuals, experimental beats, and a crowd of local artists and
software developers who performed for each other, trotting out their latest
creations and upping the ante with every show. The event was the weekly public
manifestation of an arts and technology collective called Goodship that spawned,
among other things, the popular video performance software VDMX. 

Sound artists Stephan Moore and Scott Smallwood’s Evidence were regular
performers at Goodship Tuesdays. This record is a pristine recording of their
final performance at Positively 4th Street in 2004, at the top of their game as
improvisors of unplanned sonic textures and abstract beat constructions.
Evidence has gone on to perform internationally using objects, homemade
electronics and radio broadcast equipment, with a specialization in
non-traditional venues and circumstances, but this recording captures the
essence of their work in a venue as comfortable as home. 

“Melodic motifs and fuzzy groove elements emerged and receded in the
mesmeric sonic fog, and the set conjured up the sense of a journey to
whereabouts unknown, but not at all unpleasant. Ambient mission
accomplished.” — Josef Woodard (Culture Monster) review of Evidence
live. The Los Angeles Times August 27, 2010
