Interview: High aura’d

When you listen to any of John Kolodij’s releases under the High aura’d moniker, American Primitive mixes with scorched blues rippers, subtle drone freakouts, and dark ambient excursions. For fans both old and new, Kolodij’s latest LP, and first for Seattle’s Debacle, No River Long Enough Doesn’t Contain a Bend, is as accomplished a record as he’s ever released. Save for the final track, featuring Angel Olsen’s vocals, No River is an understated showcase of Kolodij’s acoustic and electric guitar instrumentals, coupled with adventurous experimental song-scapes. In the run-up to the release of No River, John and I emailed back and forth from his current home base of Ohio, discussing the history of the project, his work as a chef, and how his home state’s natural beauty inspired the new record. --- I want to focus primarily on the here and now of the High aura’d project, but tell me a little bit about yourself, and how the project came into existence? I’m 44 years old. I grew up in Trumansburg, NY, right outside of Ithaca. The Finger Lakes — what people toss off as Upstate. I’m married to a wonderful, creative woman, who is also the mother of our three girls. High aura’d began as a duo, but then quickly became a solo path. I had always been in bands, and still clung to the idea that I needed someone to bounce ideas off, and fill space with. Due to an imminent tour with Barn Owl, and some new technology, I quickly fleshed out my ideas and was able to get the density of sound I wanted by myself. Listeners have the High aura’d discography to sink their teeth into, but what is your view on the evolution of the project? Any releases that would have surprised you when you first started? It’s purely an evolution. My earliest work was more meditative in conception, and I’ve been feeling a need to reclaim that, but again, it all represents who I am, and was at that time. That day. I don’t think I’m surprised by anything I’ve recorded. I’m truly grateful some people enjoy listening to my work, and I always will be. I’ve been very lucky to work with some fine people and have their support and encouragement. Finally hearing it on vinyl was the kicker… It has this warmth that I was always hoping to hear; and the art, which is photography of mine, but treated by Kevin Gan Yuen and incorporating the work of William Cody Watson; it’s a beautiful, singular package that I hope will make people want to own it. In a 2015 interview with Decoder, your previous collaborator Mike Shiflet mentioned that you were a chef. I would love to hear more about it. Are you still a chef, and what kind of foods were/are you specializing in? I was a professional cook. Chefs are owners. This all comes from the military system of rank. Chef being “chief.” I did not attend a cooking school, but I did unpaid stages for a chef in Boston where I was living, for a year on the weekends, and she offered me a job and I ran with it. I had just wanted to learn how to cook like someone’s great-grandmother, to intuitively know what to do and how to put ingredients together, to think seasonally, and cook from a whole food prospective. I’d always gone to farmers markets as a child, and we had a decent vegetable patch at our house. I’ve always been into Japanese and Vietnamese cooking — all of the places I cooked were New American (minus one very high end Italian place, which was trying to push that envelope) — local-sustainable, worked with local farmers and purveyors to raise and butcher or source as much as possible. We also had the flexibility to incorporate new techniques and ideas. But now, I have four clients, and I try to keep that as happy as possible. I still aim to cook like an elder would, just maybe one from Hokkaido, or a Buddhist temple cook. I try and stay up to date as possible regarding what’s going on in food trends, and I’ve got my various noodle soups locked down. My pho is pretty on-point. When you say, “to intuitively know what to do and how to put ingredients together,” I can’t help but think of music, composition, and songwriting. Do you see any connections between the way you approach cooking and music? In as much as they are, or should be creative crafts, yes. I’m often drawn toward minimal ingredients presented in their finest way; Pickled mackerel, a foraged mushroom. A tomato in late summer, with fresh basil that grew next to it, dressed in great olive oil. I only eat tomatoes when in season. I hate the false flavor a hot house tomato brings. I listen to tons of dub in the summertime, drink more tequila then as well. Are these linked? Your music, especially the new album, combines established sounds of blues and Americana with drone, noise, and other modern flourishes. Blues and roots music is associated with travel, migration, and movement. With a recent move from Rhode Island to Ohio, how did you approach your songcraft with your lived experience of migration? I think unless you’re trying to push your art in an unnatural direction, it’s always a reflection of the sum of your experience up until that point. I’ve moved around a good deal; Ithaca, NY, to Providence, Rhode Island; Brooklyn, NY, and Boston for a dozen years; Narragansett, Rhode Island, for two years, and now right outside Cleveland, Ohio, going on three years. I’ve been in bands since I was 13, my first being a ridiculous thrash-metal band. My next bigger band was super shoegaze, and then next was a slowcore-/country-influenced quartet with a cellist [ed. note: The Pines of Rome]. I feel like all that is in me at anytime. A lot of this record is done with acoustic guitars at the core, but there’s still oversaturated electric guitars, pedal steel, piano, and even acoustic drums, so it’s just me. I don’t feel I honestly consider fans’ expectations, or part of a musical tradition. I just try and hone in on whatever interests me in my work and dig out and polish what I like and present the truest version I’m able to. No River contains traces of both classic tropes of Americana, but mixed with modern drone and ambient composition. How do you balance carrying on the traditions associated with acoustic and blues guitar, while finding new ways to push the boundaries of fans’ expectations? Robert Johnson was probably my first guitar crush, from probably the most embarrassing point of entry, the 1986 Ralph Macchio vehicle, Crossroads, which featured sweet shredder Steve Vai as well. America was in love with hair metal, but I got this Robert Johnson boxset for Christmas, and I was hooked. I’ve always dug Bukka White, Blind Willie Johnson, John Lee Hooker…and this eventually led me to John Fahey, which led me to Gastr Del Sol, and then to Loren Mazzacane Connors and Keiji Haino which led me… all without The Interent! But on a parallel line, Sonic Youth led me to Bill Frisell, Bad Brains led me to Scientist, Led Zeppelin led me to Annie Briggs and Fairport Convention, King Crimson led to Fripp & Eno, Coltrane led me to Alice Coltrane and beyond… I don’t feel I honestly consider fans’ expectations, or part of a musical tradition. I just try and hone in on whatever interests me in my work and dig out and polish what I like and present the truest version I’m able to. Debacle wrote that you “dove into discovering the old forest and rivers of Steelhead Alley” after your move to Ohio. Did you find that exploring the surrounding natural area spilled over into your songwriting? I’d hope it has. Cleveland has the worst reputation nationally, and it’s completely undeserved. The people (as much as they are human, which is to say, as much as any other place) are open minded and kind. The natural wonders around here are spectacular. The forests are grand, the rivers wondrous, and the sky is intense. I’ve become an avid fly fisher, catch and release, and it’s truly amazing being out in the middle of a river and only hearing & sensing the natural world. I often try, when working on a piece to envision myself, somewhere else: in a desert, at the edge of an ocean, nighttime in Sonoma, crossing a footbridge in Miami, wherever feels evocative, and then trying to score that moment. I’ve been in love with cinema forever, and I just try and score everyday life. A lot of cinemas host screenings with live or newly composed scores. Have you had your eye on a film you feel you could do justice with your sounds? I love snowy films. John Carpenter’s The Thing, Paul Schrader’s Affliction, even Tarantino’s The Hateful 8, The Revenant, Fargo, A Simple Plan, The Shining… So perhaps something like that? Most of those are rather perfect as they are. I have performed quite often to films others have made for me, often over-saturated color rich impressionistic pieces. I love doing that. When you lived in Rhode Island, were you playing live often? Was there a venue or scene you were associated with? Have you established a new musical space or community in Ohio? I did play often, perhaps more in Boston at first, but I got out at least every 2 months on average. I played at Machines With Magnets quite a bit, bringing some shows there. I played a bunch with Work/Death (Scott Reber is simply the best). If you’re asking if I was down with Fort Thunder, I was down with Fort Thunder in real time. As far as Ohio, I’ve been playing out less, much of last year, as High aura’d because I wanted to focus on freeing my guitar playing up, and trying to expel learned or histrionic playing — I wanted to get free. There’s a wonderful music scene here with multiple layers and venues. I’ve been playing with some more improv/free people, which is well represented here by New Ghosts and venues like The Bop Stop and Dan Wenninger’s monthly nights. There’s the classic experimental people like John Elliot, Prostitutes, Machine Listener, Chromesthic, Talons, & Trouble Books. And great suppostive record shops/distros like Bent Crayon, Hausfrau Records, and Experimedia. As a listener, it’s fitting to dive into No River Long Enough Doesn’t Contain a Bend as fall kicks into high gear. Do you have ideal conditions or times of day well suited to working on and recording new High aura’d material? I like to try and work on music as early in the day as possible — my mind is as uncluttered as it’s going to be at that point. I do also enjoy relaxing, later at night, and watching really slow movies with grand cinematography and just free associating on an acoustic guitar. I often try, when working on a piece to envision myself, somewhere else: in a desert, at the edge of an ocean, nighttime in Sonoma, crossing a footbridge in Miami, wherever feels evocative, and then trying to score that moment. I’ve been in love with cinema forever and I just try and score everyday life. Is most of the material on No River based off of improvisation? How long did you spend on this project? If you mean recorded improvisation that became a song, 3 songs on this would qualify. Most others were worked on, over the course of 2-3 years. The move to Ohio, slowed me a bit, not that I’m swift to begin with. Finally hearing it on vinyl was the kicker. Helge Sten, who’s work at Deathprod and is a member of Supersilent, mastered the LP, and he just added this magic sheen. It has this warmth that I was always hoping to hear; and the art, which is photography of mine, but treated by Kevin Gan Yuen and incorporating the work of William Cody Watson; it’s a beautiful, singular package that I hope will make people want to own it, and not just download. Music was meant for more than laptop speakers. I’ve seen how other writers, labels, and musicians play drone and noise music for their kids, whether as a way to help put them to bed, or just to see how they react to it. How do your children respond to your work? It’s always strange to think of what our parents do as “cool,” but I imagine hearing some blaring guitar and drones growing up can make quite the impression on a kid. When our first child would need some help falling asleep, say while we were out doing something, and they were tired, but no quite there yet, we’d put on Tim Hecker’s album Harmony in Ultraviolet, specifically “Chimeras.” It would always do the trick. Plus it’s like another favorite, Aphex Twin’s “Stone In Focus,” it just has this glorious decaying motif. They love music, and they’ve all just recently started playing instruments they chose: ukulele, viola, and guitar. We never forced anything on them, they just have always had access. I’m sure to one degree they think my work is strange, but they also are keenly aware of all the spooky music in television and films. And they mostly think it’s too loud. My kids were more responsive to the band my wife and I had together, a fuzz/pop band called WORKING. They love pop music, and we listen to a bunch of that constantly, but I listen to a lot of hip-hop and soul, and they humor me there. Also, spare bits of metal. I think everyone enjoys spacing out on Arvo Part or Ryuichi Sakamoto, no? I know they enjoy it to some degree. My eldest daughter’s favorite record for a while was John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, so I did something right. How did No River find its home on Debacle? Sam [Melancon, Debacle’s founder] has wide ranging tastes, but there are several records in the catalog (Hayden Pedigo, Elkhorn, Daniel Bachman) that, like you, take American Primitive and blues outside the box. Where do you see your place within the label and its ability to document varying scenes and movements within underground, D.I.Y. communities? I’ve long admired Debacle’s streak of representing what they like and giving at a physical manifestation. Their varied tastes are easily viewed, from records by my old friends Kevin Gan Yuen, Golden Retriever, and Daniel Bachmann, to Total Life, and Chambers, which features Gabriel Saloman of Yellow Swans. [It] reminds me in all the best ways of my former label Bathetic, who purely pushed what they dug, simply. With the record’s impending release, do you plan to tour? What’s next for you and High aura’d? I don’t plan on touring, but I do plan on getting out, radially, from here. I’d like to hit Chicago and play with some friends along the way. As far as what’s next, I have some great collaborations finished, looking for homes, one with Matt Christensen of Zelienople, and a brewing LP2 with Mike Shiflet. I may retire the High aura’d moniker, or keep it strictly for more sound/drone recordings. I hope to start work on a new collection soon. I feel like this year has had numerous wonderful records released and this is a glorious time for new music. I’d like to collaborate sincerely and seriously more in the coming year, and keep growing. And to do so freely. http://j.mp/2hWpQES

Unrestored, 20,000-Mile 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Reveals Clues to Hurried Design & Build

Speed defined the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, from its mission to push faster around NASCAR ovals to its accelerated development process and even more rapid production. It was intended to hit the streets and NASCAR tracks for 1970, but the Charger 500’s failure early in the 1969 racing season to deliver a competitive edge prompted Dodge to pull ahead the Daytona program. Despite the reworked, flush rear window, and flush nose (featuring the grille and headlamps from a 1968 Coronet), the Charger 500 was still uncomfortably squirrely at speed. Too much lift pulled up on the tires, countermanding drivers’ efforts at control and working against their self-preservation instinct.

The Daytona’s drag-reducing nose cone and 23-inch-tall rear wing did the trick, for the most part. The package significantly reduced lift and inspired the confidence to keep the pedal to the metal on the straights. The gauntlet was officially thrown down when a Daytona, driven by Richard Brickhouse, won the first race it entered, which happened to be the first race ever at Talladega, in September 1969. Buddy Baker returned to the track a few months later for a test session and blasted a record-setting average speed of 200.447 mph. The wing worked.

Among the documents Peter Swainson got when he bought the Charger Daytona from the family of its original owner, Joseph Graszler, were these notes. Taken in 1975, they may indicate that Graszler was entertaining selling the car. They show the mileage at 20,904 and a callout that there were no dents in the nose cone. It also shows a “for sale” price of $3,500.

The production cars NASCAR required for homologation were thrown together just as quickly as Baker’s blistering pace, but not exactly with exemplary attention to detail.

Detroit-based Creative Industries, which had a long history of building show cars and small-run productions, was given the unenviable task of hand-assembling 500 of the cars during the summer of 1969. An examination of Peter Swainson’s unrestored example underscores the reality of the deadline, with examples front to rear of a hurried process.

Expensive, Ungainly

The car was originally purchased by Joseph Graszler, of Phoenix, who traded a 1969 Road Runner for it at Peagler’s Dodge City. The sale of the Daytona, which has a May 29, 1969, build date, didn’t occur until August 12, 1970. That says everything about the challenge dealers faced with the expensive, ungainly wing cars, which carried a nearly 25 percent price premium over a “regular” Charger.

Graszler had embraced the car’s form-follows-function eccentricity and was an early member of the Winged Warriors enthusiast club when it was formed in the mid-1970s. He also frequented the dragstrip with it in the early days and installed the typical aftermarket parts of the day, including headers, an aluminum intake manifold, and more.

Despite his apparent love for the Daytona, Graszler didn’t drive it very often. It shows only 20,907 miles, and the license plate tabs expired in 1976. Notes from a fellow enthusiast’s examination of the car in November 1975 record its mileage at 20,904. That’s a mere 3 miles added to the clock in nearly 45 years!

Note 50 years of dust on the 440 Magnum’s original crinkle-finish air cleaner. While Graszler had installed some aftermarket parts, he kept the factory equipment, so the engine still has the original “2-69” date-coded spark-plug wires.

Peter Swainson acquired the car in early 2018 from Graszler’s nephews, John and Paul Becker, who had taken possession of it after his death. Swainson says, “It’s unfortunate Mr. Graszler isn’t with us any longer to ask more about his ownership experience.”

Swainson is an Alberta-based business owner with two other wing cars and a slew of additional Mopars in his collection. “These cars represent a special time in history for muscle cars and racing, and preserving this one is something I take seriously.”

Along with the car, Swainson’s purchase included plenty of additional parts and documents. Graszler had kept it all, from the original date-coded spark-plug wires to all of the other engine parts swapped for the aftermarket components. All of the original equipment is on the car today, including the trade-in wheels and tires.

Factory markings on the right-hand valve cover look only days old. One reason they are so well preserved is the original valve covers were removed and stored early in the car’s life.

The original paperwork included the dealer’s purchase agreement, which indicated that the 440/four-speed/Track Pack–equipped Daytona originally came with wheel covers. Graszler had the dealer swap over the Magnum 500 wheels from his Road Runner trade-in. The factory Track Pack added, among other things, the beefy Dana 9 3/4-inch axle with 3.54 gears.

Swainson is planning a full restoration of the low-mileage car. It would have been tempting to leave it unrestored, but it is perhaps a little too raw to leave unattended. Taking care of one or two of its needs would start the snowball growing to a complete re-do.

Unrestored Glory

Detroit-area Mopar guru and racer Dave Dudek will oversee the resto. Before he tore into it, we got the chance to photograph the car in its unrestored glory. It revealed fine details and, frankly, flaws that came with a rapid-fire production schedule.

“They were on a mission to build the cars within the fast deadline,” says Dudek about Creative Industries. “The cars were assembled quickly, and more than a few corners were cut to do it.”

The R/T-based interior featured the Rallye gauge package, with four supporting gauges mounted to the right of a 150-mph speedometer. To the left of the speedo was a “tick-tock tach,” with an electric clock in the center of the rev counter. The seams are split on the original vinyl driver’s seat, but the original door panels have held up well over the last 50 years.

Those corners included the prep work on some of the unique sheetmetal parts. There is original paint flaking off the galvanized filler panel legs attached to the lower front edges of the front fenders, parts unique to the Daytona. It appears that no primer was used prior to painting, just B5 Blue over bare steel. In fact, a manufacturer ink stamp on one of the panels is visible now that the paint has flaked off. Getting paint to stick to the galvanized metal was notoriously difficult, and many owners returned to the dealership for paintwork after trips through the carwash.

Indeed, the whole front end of the Daytona is unique. Creative Industries didn’t merely screw on the nose cone—the 1969 Charger’s sheetmetal made that impossible. It’s not exactly pull-ahead 1970 Charger metal, either, although it’s pretty clear that the hoods were early-run 1970 parts. Comparing photos of standard 1969 and 1970 Chargers with the Daytona demonstrates significant differences in the fenders.

So, did Dodge have unique stampings for the limited-run Daytona? The answer is a firm probably, according to expert Gene Lewis. “They were likely based on the 1970 Charger parts and modified. Chrysler’s own Group Release documentation references the parts as being manufactured or stamped without holes for the side marker lights. You can modify regular 1970 fenders to match pretty easily.”

The long Hurst shifter was part of the Track Pack that included the A833 four-speed transmission. This car is one of only 139 440/four-speed Daytona models.

What’s not clear is whether the fenders were modified with the lower valence legs prior to being shipped to Creative Industries or at the production site. Regardless, they are unique and illustrate the depth of the production process.

One more thing about the front fenders: They featured mesh-covered holes beneath the plastic, rearward-facing vents. Dodge said in 1969 the holes were intended to provide tire clearance for the race cars, so they were mimicked to the letter on the production models to ensure no hang-ups during the homologation process. The production Plymouth Superbird had similar scoops on its front fenders, but no holes. Apparently, NASCAR wasn’t that picky.

That’s a lot of detail for just the front-end sheetmetal on the Daytona, and let’s not forget the flush rear window plug and rear wing, which was anchored with steel support legs in the trunk. There was a lot going on to produce the cars and do them so quickly.

The peeling layers of this unrestored example provide a unique, archeological examination of the build process and a glimpse into an era of Detroit’s motorsports-driven marketing that’s just not the same half a century later. The wing worked, and things were never the same after it.

At a Glance

1969 Charger Daytona Owned by: Peter Swainson Restored by: Unrestored Engine: 440ci/375hp Magnum V-8 Transmission: A833 4-speed manual Rearend: Dana 60 with 3.54 gears and Sure Grip Interior: White vinyl bucket seat Wheels: 14×5.5 Road Wheels (Magnum 500) Tires: G70-14 nylon ply Special parts: Daytona package, including unique front end and rear wing; Track Pack drivetrain

In a Rush

The Daytona’s unrestored condition reveals evidence of its rushed build, namely less-than-stellar assembly quality.

Peeling paint on the front fender legs speaks to a lack of primer before painting, along with clearly visible ink stamps on the sheetmetal. Prep work was minimal.

Primer is visible on the rear edges of the hood and in some areas of its underside, indicating that the hood was only sprayed in one direction and not completely covered. It was the same for the trunk lid on this car.

The flush rear window, laid at 28 degrees instead of the standard Charger’s 45-degree back glass, helped reduce lift and was introduced on the Charger 500 model. A close look at the upper corner of this example shows witness lines of the plug’s installation.

Daytona Speed Secrets

The steel nose cone provided a dramatic reduction in aero lift, pushing down the Daytona’s coefficient of drag to a reported 0.29, which is better than most contemporary vehicles. The retractable headlamp housings are the only wing-car parts shared with the Plymouth Superbird.

The 23-inch-tall rear wing was the other part of the equation that alieved the lift-induced high-speed control issues and helped push the Daytona race car to 200 mph in 1970. The wing itself was painted black or white, while the tail stripe with the “DAYTONA” lettering was a decal.

Plastic front fender scoops covered holes designed to mimic those on race cars that Dodge said were for tire clearance. There is evidence they were actually an aero-enhancing aid that allowed underbody air to exit over the car rather than be forced under it. Fifty years later, cars such as the Camaro ZL1 employ hood vents for the very same reason.

Equal to confirm the same as the M235i that it ought to be transforming and, apparently, the convertible car must be comparable to the couple under that warm tummy. As usual, the M240i may have BMW ’s personal renal technique caffeine bean grille, as well as that large air-flow dam and the location surroundings inlets. The side entire body outlines will more than likely remain the same as will a lot of the verdict.

2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Review, Specs And Photo

2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Review, Specs And Photo – Practically two generations after the Honda Insight unveiled hybrids to America; the technological innovation is nonetheless uncommon amid crossovers. That may be since blending crossover, and mutated genes beget mediocrity. In exchange for some more mpg, you get a more heavy, lazier family members hauler that are no enjoyable to operate a vehicle. Credit score Acura for spending that paradigm. The MDX Sports Hybrid SH-AWD tested here imbues Acura’s just recently facelifted a few row crossover with hybrid components much like individuals from the NSX supercar, and the result is a breakthrough vehicle, one who really should get the Sport within its label.

2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Future

While in individuals differential moments, the impending motor transmits electric existing to the battery power pack. The shortage of a driveshaft among the axles foliage adequate room less than the flooring for a 72-cell battery power load and a power-control device. The previous is cooled by cabin air, the latter by going around fluid. Thanks to very careful wrapping, the hybrid’s 15-cube cargo maintain fits that of the front side drive, petrol-only Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, and then there are just one cubic ft. Much less of passenger volume level.

2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Exterior And Interior

External acknowledgment of this Acura MDX Sport Hybrid’s green toned is limited to a subtle hybrid badge on every top fender. Within, a showing off design prevails. The throttle, brake, and dead pedal are trimmed with dazzling metallic plates, paddle shifters are powering the grippy controls, and the car owner is supplied a choice of some running modes. In typical driving a vehicle, 2nd-gear commences preserving fuel. In Sport, the move schedule is more hostile, and the engine works consistently to fortify answer. Although outstanding total, this crossover misses the label in a couple of areas. The electrically helped power directing is too light-weight and entirely with a lack of feedback. The entrance seat bolsters are not company enough to aid the driver’s thighs at the great cornering costs possible here. So we very long for a summer season-wheel choice (instead of the standard all-season silicone) to amplify this hybrid’s dealing with the edge. The third-row seating is kid place due to their limited gain access to methods and reduced bottom cushions that Jack grown-up knees abundant in the air. Collapsable the rear-seat backrests improve cargo amount from 15 to 38 cubic ft .; compromising the second row swells the maintain to 68 cubic feet, not counting a suitable underfloor container at the extreme rear.

2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Engine

This Acura MDX Sport Hybrid shirts both the standard MDX and the Toyota Highlander hybrid in acceleration. It hustles to 60 mph from relaxation in 5.7 mere seconds, through the quarter-distance in 14.5 secs, and also to 100 miles per hour in 15.5 secs, overcoming the Highlander by 1.3, .9, and 1.7 moments. The gaps among the hybrid and nonhybrid Acuras are narrower. Although the Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in is more rapidly at reduced and medium sized velocities, the MDX hybrid usually takes the lead beyond 110 miles per hour. (We haven’t recently tested the only other about the three-row hybrid crossover, the Infiniti QX60.) While it holds an extra 244 lbs in comparison with its nonhybrid sibling, the MDX hybrid ceased from 70 miles per hour in the same 188 ft. Although that is affordable for a three-row crossover, it’s several feet beyond the Toyota and 12 ft beyond the Volvo. At least this hybrid’s brake pedal continues to be substantial and organization until finally the third or fourth challenging stop when tips of fade intervene.
