about

Spirit Spout is the title of a chapter from Herman Melville's Moby Dick and refers to the crew of the Pequod, becalmed off the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, observing the spouting whale in the far distance but unable to locate it precisely. They lower their boats into the nocturnal waters, but their quarry eludes them. It captures something of the essence of improvisation, its intersections with the world of formal composition, and the mystery of influence. In the world of Spirit Spout, new composition, jazz, ambient and electronic music are all present but remain resistant to categorization.

Lyrics:

cé go mbraithim thú
’s nách bhfios dom cén fáth
tá’n tú abhad uaim
‘smé ag silleadh na ndeor
gach táirseach dúnta romham
tá’n tú abhad uaim
‘smé ag cuardach do phóg
mé fágtha uaigneach’s fé bhrón

I sense your presence
But I don’t know why
You are far away
As I cry
Each doorway is closed
You are far away
I search for your kiss
I am left this way

Dirt... And More Dirt
by Henry Threadgill 14 or 15 Kestra: Agg

supported by 6 fans who also own “Spirit Spout”

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker
