VULFPECK /// Fugue State "I was researching the history of 'Concert A' when I found it, a handwritten note, cleanly pasted (rubber cement?) inside the front cover of a hefty Bach biography. The note made a single claim: Bach's "Little" fugue was written under the influence of Surströmming fermented Baltic sea herring , which had been sold to him by an itinerant Swedish monk. I phoned Vulfmon to relate my discovery (we had just been discussing fermented fish products), but he was out of the office, so I left a voicemail. Years later he emailed me an early version of Goss's "Fugue State" composition (a MIDI file), and I knew then that Vulfmon had received my earlier voicemail." —Rob Stenson (Adak Island Sound) — buy — — share —
