Week 7: Millennial Falcon
The critics are raving about Millennial Falcon. “Why don’t more musics be sound like this?” says one (human) satisfied customer. “Where can I leave a tip to support the band?” says no one. “This band obviously knows at least 12 notes and I bet I heard them all tonight!” said a definitely real person who was there.
This week’s session soared through deep space and dipped into chaos. We named it Millennial Falcon—a tribute to generational drift, analog guts, and the sense that everything is falling apart and still somehow flying.
We were joined this week by Michael Anderson, on piano and synthesizer. His playing was next-level—virtuosic, emotional, and full of fearless harmonic invention. Joseph Dowdy traveled across tenor, soprano sax and flute, summoning voices from every direction. Jonathan Greene was locked in as always—fluid, responsive, and propelling the whole thing forward like a calm engine beneath a shifting sky. I held the low end with bass, synth, and computer textures.
A tropical plant named Brianna played with us again via PlantWave, this time delivering the warm, rhythmic pulse of a piece that bloomed in real time.
Somewhere in the second set the cops showed up, responding to a report of music that was “too excellent to be legal.” They hung out for a minute, then our fearless bar owner David used his majestic beard to ease the situation and the cops back to their station.
