In August 2019, Houston trombone player, improviser, and Nameless Sound Director David Dove embarked on his 8-day Static Tour. On each night, Houston’s Alabama Song was the site for a different collaboration. Dove’s tour featured a wide range of Houston’s diverse experimental scene.
In December of 2020, Alabama Song teamed up with Chicago’s Experimental Sound Studio to share this special pre-pandemic moment.
Listening through a proper sound system or good headphones is recommended.
