Friction, Overtones, and the Fluent Pedal Steel of Sam Wenc
By Lawrence Peryer
·
Sam Wenc, who previously recorded as Post Moves for thirteen years, releases ‘Language at an Angle’ under his own name—an eight-part tone poem for pedal steel and piano. The album incorporates extended techniques, his meditation practice, and pays tribute to the late pedal steel innovator Susan Alcorn.
