Wendy Eisenberg performs her own long-form text score, memorised and played from memory: one disc of solo guitar and one of solo banjo, recorded at Firehouse 12 in New Haven in March 2019.

In a study of memory and the way we alter or prioritize what we remember, NY guitarist Wendy Eisenberg composed this intimately personal long form text score in four movements to be memorized and then performed using the nonlinear randomness of recollection, recorded in two performances at Firehouse 12 in 2019, once on acoustic guitar and once on banjo.

"These are memory works, meaning the same pieces played on two different instruments, in slightly different modes and degrees of retention, so there's a compare/contrast at work, but also a way to experience muscle memory through Wendy's shadowy sense of space." (Lars Gotrich, NPR)
