A couple of years back, "Chicago: Drone City" features were everywhere, with artists such as Lichens, David Daniell, and DRMWPN getting brief, national exposure. As it does, the spotlight waned; but plenty of local musicians continue to craft exciting, experimental whirling dirge-ishes. Last year, Male, the duo of Jonathan Krohn (electronics) and Ben Mjolsness (guitar), asked some local avant-jazz/rock-luminary buddies to do one-take improvisations over their compositions. The result, All Are Welcome, features members of Exploding Star Orchestra, Pan American, and Joan of Arc; and its trance-like repetition and odd filigrees skillfully balance the scales between nerves and rest that is drone at its most appealing. Dave Rempis joins for the follow-up, due later this year.
