about

As they celebrate their 10th Anniversary Season and look back on a decade of musical experiments and explorations, The Westerlies present Archives Vol. 1: a chronicle of everything from their first notes together in a Juilliard practice room to unreleased demos and bootlegs from 2011-2014. Included in these selections are live recordings with their mentor Wayne Horvitz at his Seattle club The Royal Room, a full EP by the collaborative venture “The Westerlies + 2” with pianist/composer Sam Yulsman and drummer Jason Burger, the score to a Juilliard Dance work entitled “These Empty Buildings” choreographed by Garth Johnson, and early drafts of songs that later found their form on albums to come. Through it all, one can hear the ensemble honing their sound in their first three years, and laying the groundwork for years of music to come.
