LouieB Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 From an email I just got from Evergreen Music who carries Nels' albums. Looks pretty interesting. LouieB Nels Cline and Norton Wisdom: Stained Radiance We're starting the year with a DVD release of an exciting and unique pairing of two great artists. Guitarist Nels Cline and painter Norton Wisdom, both masters of their medium, joined together last year for an afternoon of sonic and visual improvisation caught on film by Aeght Nign. Armed with his guitar and effects, Cline constructs lush soundscapes brought about by Wisdom's brush-stroke spontaneity. Wisdom in turn follows Cline's auditory twists creating and recreating the same canvas. Two mesmerizing performances are included on the DVD along with special features like the Norton Headcam, and a behind-the-scenes look into the sessions. Watch the trailer via Vimeo. Preorder the DVD at our webstore.All Nels Cline digital albums are on sale for 30% off during the Stained Radiance preorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 That should be pretty great. Here's what Nels said about it in his new News post on his website: http://www.nelscline.com/news.html STAINED RADIANCE: NELS CLINE & NORTON WISDOM (Greenleaf DVD) Directed by the estimable Aeght Nign and produced by yours truly, this is the long-overdue document of the duo I do with painter Norton Wisdom. He paints, I improvise. The DVD, filmed at The Smell in Los Angeles, features two full-length performances/improvisations and bonus features, like the amazing "shoulder cam" and "helmet cam" footage of Norton doing his thing, as well as interviews with the duo that is Stained Radiance. Look for it on the Wilco merch table and somewhere else after mid-January! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Nels and Norton will be performing at DiPiazza's in Long Beach on Tuesday. I've seen them live before, and it's really mind-blowing. I can't wait to see the DVD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
