DOSH / SKOAL KODIAK @ THE CEDAR

Consider it a testament to Martin Dosh’s electronic wizardry that his live show is somehow more impressive than his intricate, layered records. He doesn’t just recreate his complex collages of looped audio; he composes something new on the fly, surrounded by banks of keyboards and samplers. Dosh’s 2008 album Wolves And Wishes, his fourth solo disc, follows his familiar method of building soundscapes through a careful rearrangement of live improvisation with collaborators. Recently, much of Dosh’s time has gone into his stellar musical partnership with Andrew Bird, but a new Dosh album is on the horizon, which finds him working with Happy Apple’s Mike Lewis, Bird, and a host of other collaborators. It’ll be titled Tommy, in tribute to Dosh’s recently deceased friend and sound engineer Tom Cesario. – AVClub
