David Grubbs ＆ Nikos Veliotis / The Harmless Dust

Brooklyn-based Grubbs and Athens-based cellist Veliotis took a break amidst their US tour for "A Guess at the Riddle" to go into John McEntire's Soma Studios and record "The Harmless Dust," two duos for piano and cello and for e-bowed piano and Hammond organ. The piece was first performed live in Tokyo in August, and we knew that Headz -- which put on the show -- would be the perfect home for "The Harmless Dust." The title comes from a line in the Wingdale Community Singers' song "Family Plot, Mayfield Kentucky."
