专辑简介
25 years ago, David Greenberger started a magazine using stories he collected from residents of the Duplex Nursing Home. The Duplex Planet still continues today.
Legibly Speaking is a collaboration between Greenberger and the musical ensemble 3 Leg Torso. It features eleven new stories derived from conversations with elderly residents of Portland, collected as part of an artist residency sponsored by Portland Institute Of Contemporary Art (PICA). The music composed by 3 Leg Torso provides shadings of mood and passion. Formed in 1996 as a violin, cello and accordion trio, 3 Leg Torso creates original modern chamber music for their unique instrumentation. Over the ensuing years the band has expanded both its musical mission and its size to become a quintet that now performs its eclectic synthesis of chamber music, tango, klezmer, Latin and world music.
With subtle wit and nuance, the music introduces changing characters reflecting on universal subjects; everything from gambling and pets to painting and the foundations of Western thought. Ultimately, David Greenberger's goal is to expose the richness of the whole person through humor and intelligence, with genuine tenderness. In a singular listening experience, this disc provides a brief journey alongside eleven consecutive characters, and the listener finds familiarity in meeting these irresistible new friends.
