Airy dreamscapes fill Firework Child's floating melodies. Kompinski, Bledsoe, Vogel and Dekle all step up to the mic, providing elegant vocal harmonies while backed by an array of percussion and strings. While the band speaks in abstract if evasive language in describing the project, the impression made by the 2008 release Colour Therapy is of a mostly acoustic, gauzy mix of spiraling echo and surrealism. Of course, the supporting musicians have changed since that release, and, in fact, the next show will be Firework Child's first with the current lineup. Kompinski and Bledsoe have always been at the helm of this project, seeking support from various instrumentalists. They now have Vogel on bass, Munson and Gorbachov on drums, Poziak on cello and Thornton on violin. Firework Child sounds like "an experience, an ocean, a collision of communication resonating and vibrating to a different dimension," says the band. See what I mean? Members of Firework Child also say they enjoy it when people are close to them while performing and they hope to be available for benefit shows in the future. Duly noted.
