about

When musician and artist David Bernabo began work on the Ongoing Box documentary, the project’s scope was twenty minutes of filmed studio experiments with motors, smoke, ice, and paper. Nine months later, the film exists as a 100-minute document of eight Pittsburgh artists’ studio practices, performance documentation, and interviews on their respective “processes”. With the film comes a soundtrack. While the film includes solo piano compositions and electronic pieces, the focus of the music is on solo and duo guitars.

Palm Springs Tennis Courts, as the collection is called, is released on a unique, hand-cut double 7” set. The lathe cut records were cut by Future Oak Records and the album is released through Wild Kindness Records and Host Skull Ongoing Box, the object-oriented imprint of the band, Host Skull. Only 25 copies of the physical product will exist in the first pressing, but a digital download is also available.

The tools to make the music also originate in Pittsburgh. The familiar, yet odd electric guitar pieces were composed on a handmade, double-neck guitar by Jeffrey Schrekengost. The one-of-a-kind instrument includes two fretless bass strings and three doubled strings on the top neck and eight strings on the bottom neck. The acoustic pieces, usually found in duo settings, were performed on a handmade guitar by luthier Raymond Morin (who also performs in the band Pairdown). Morin is found in the documentary, making a few guitars.

While the pieces vary in setting (with two digital-only pieces expanding with bass and percussion), there is a focus on harmonic expansion and melody. ECM and British folk influences find their way among classical structures and free improvisation.
