This week I’m talking to the magnificent Julie Slick. Julie is an amazing bass player who I first heard with Adrian Belew’s Power Trio. It was thrilling to hear her play through all the various music Adrian has been a part of whether it’s his newer compositions or classic King Crimson or Frank Zappa stuff. She also has a cool project—or a band (side question: what’s the difference between a band or a project?) called EchoTest and that features 2 bass players. She’s also played with the Crimson ProjeckT which is a cool King Crimson-adjacent band featuring Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto. The last time I saw Julie was in early 2019 when we both were playing on the Yes “Cruise To the Edge” cruise. We had a great conversation and it was excellent to catch up.

Continuing on Sontag's essays “On Style” (1965) and "The Death of Tragedy” (1963). Mark, Wes, Seth and Dylan keep talking about the appropriate distance to retain (or not) to a work of art, which is supposed to be relevant to moral action in the world. We also spell out how this is relevant to our recent episodes on tragedy. Start with Part One or get the full, ad-free Citizen Edition. Please support PEL! End song: "Mela" by Julie Slick, as interviewed on Nakedly Examined Music #115.

Julie joined the Adrian Belew Power Trio in 2006 and released two solo albums starting in 2010. She then joined another bassist, Marco Machera for four albums, the last three as Echotest. Why two basses? Because Julie uses tech to change the sound of her bass to allow her to cover an orchestra's worth of parts. We discuss "Ladies' Legs at the Temperature Hotel" and "No, You Are Dead/The Gate of Light" by Echotest from Daughter of Ocean (2019), plus "Pi" from her solo album Terroir (2012), and listen to "Supercell" by Echotest from From Two Balconies (2017). Intro/Outro: "Mela" from Julie Slick (2010). For more, see julieslick.com. Hear more Nakedly Examined Music. Like our Facebook page. Support us on Patreon to get the ad-free feed.
