***Walnut Brain, the duo of Alina Josan and Steve Heise, mess around with a custom-made diddley bow and an electric guitar to make decidedly earthbound sounds that reach for the clouds or the stars or whatever’s out there. A diddley bow is an instrument whose single string, when struck and bowed by a sensitive player, emits sounds that both scrape and sing. As we all know, an electric guitar is a juiced up instrument capable of producing some of the most exciting sounds imaginable. In the intuitive hands of Walnut Brain, these instruments weave together to oscillating rhythms and fleeting melodies. Recorded entirely on location in only the most inspiring cabins, kitchens, and basements that this tri-state area has to offer, Weird Wire is an experience of pulses and textures swiped from the ether and committed to magnetic tape.
