...
To be
In this region
and of this time
The prime concern
as regards
Musical aspiration
Let one
or two
Respond in an affirmative ponderence
let the salesman make his sale
Let ganglia expand
as the thing gets practiced
The prime concern is but a floating cloud
within a floating realm
Quiet exit with perhaps a few salutations

Diaspora Foci Collective/Devil Comet Ensemble/Instagon #836-Miami Art Works, Miami AZ 10/13/2024
Really the only photo I got for documentation. Nathan Smith, Jaroba, and myself in front of Miami Art Works, a bit after our playing experience: just under thirty minutes of improvisation as either Diaspora Foci Collective or Devil Comet Ensemble. The latter moniker was bandied about in a group text during the previous evening, on account of a visible comet that Nathan suggested we try to view in the twilight sky. The former is Mika Pontecorvo's name for the project. Mika had desired to travel from his home in San Francisco for the gig, but was not able to do so. Following our sometimes subdued, sometimes insane set, Lob Instagon joined us for about fifteen minutes of Instagon #836, during which we threw down some Funk and a cover of Set the Controls For the Heart Of the Sun by Pink Floyd. The day was a blast, for me more of a party than a show, and I see nothing wrong with that. Lob and his cohort in Miami are doing some really great stuff there. If you're anywhere near the town, go and spend some time and money with them! An excellent day of music and community in Arizona.
