Julian Calv – Route 4 / Thorn And Roots (7" Single, 2023, Deko Music DEKO1110-1)

Why This Record Matters
Released in 2023, Route 4 / Thorn And Roots presents two place-based percussion compositions conceived in response to Julian Calv’s street performances in Vermont. “Route 4” combines sounds recorded around U.S. Route 4 with the repetitive groove of the trimba, while “Thorn And Roots” developed from an improvised melody performed in Burlington and pairs trimba with balafon.
