12548851_10206849975261561_6929405487657004752_nOn Jan 17 2016 JG Thirlwell worked on a track with Dana Schechter (Insect Ark, Bee and Flower, Angels of Light) for a project celebrating the 35th anniversary of BC studio in Brooklyn. Helmed by Martin Bisi, the project brought together many musicians from the studio’s rich history over two days at BC to create music before an audience, which will become a digital album given to supporters of Bisi’s Kickstarter fund to cover medical expenses for injuries he received while being mugged last year. Dana and JG recorded a backing track which we augmented with an impromptu choir made up of the audience and Laura Ortman played some violin.
