Theodore Cale Schafer: “Tristan”

See this content in the original post

Whenever you see ‘Tristan,’ do you think of Richard Wagner’s opera Tristan and Isolde? Theodore Cale Schafer is playing in a different sandbox, but it’s not so radically removed from the 19th-century composer. The long drawn out drone of our highlighted track “Tristan” might appeal to the writer of the Rheingold Prelude. Go elsewhere on Schafer’s album Trust for compositions with more joints, knuckles, elbows, wrists, and other meaty articulations. “Tristan” is more like one long shin. A shin of sound. Don’t bash it on the coffee table.
