2025 ︎︎︎ Hybrid Vigor

In the world of horticulture, “hybrid vigor” occurs when healthy crossbred plants take on the best qualities of their parents. Rhis album, which is our seventh, blends studio overdubs with free improvised playing.

2023 ︎︎︎ Rags and Sparkle

&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="https://sevencount.bandcamp.com/album/rags-and-sparkle"&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Rags and Sparkle by Seven Count&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Rags and Sparkle documents the sounds of: a micro-rave, a wedding engagement, wood stacking, ice dyeing, “What would Ken do?”, a bog walk, the hum of an electric car charging, and fireworks exploding from a floating watermelon. We unplugged, dropped out, and fell over.

Long live the good ship Galiongee!!!! ︎

2022 ︎︎︎ Screenbathing

As a closing event for Adam Tinkle’s
installation Screenbathing at the Arts Center for the Capital Region, we created a set to accompany his 45-minute video loop, using the analog visual feedback as a kind of event score (and energetic input).

Playing for Now charts live shows from 2018-2019 that we intended to continue, were it not for the unfortunate occurrances that began, for us, with a cancelled performance on Friday the 13th of March, 2020. Sounds from Brooklyn, Greenfield, Lake George, Phoenixville, Soltane, and Queens.

2020 ︎︎︎ Sky Island

Faced with the first canceled show of the emerging pandemic, this Friday the 13th felt important. We had the bright idea to live stream what we might have played, this time from Angus’ studio instead of the local venue. We played three sets for a group of audience members gathered in the cloud over the course of three hours. This is (was?) the final countdown.

New compositions for old instruments. Produced in conjunction with our installation at the Bennington Museum, we commissioned pieces from contemporary composers and made one of our own on the musical objects held in the museum’s archives.

High on the possibilities of playing music from the archives and the present moment alongside one another, and the possiblities of playing music at all, we made a record of the moment, which, in turn, held some records from the past (and the future?).

2016 ︎︎︎ The Iliad at Spin Cycle

Our inaugural appearance, this was a live performance with a simultaneous low-power radio broadcast. Audience members were given hand-held radios with headphones to listen to a radio set we played a week prior, allowing them to mix their own experience of live and on-air sounds.
