I, Marlena
I, Marlena (March 28, 2006)
217 East 42nd Street Window
  "I, Marlena" is a short story/long poem by Courie with an indie-jazz score composed & played by Dan Nettles' Kenosha Kid. The story shuttles between two moments in Marlena's life: the present: a creatively-destructive late-evening office escapade, and the past: a haunting, rainy drive through the development-demolished landscape of her past. The music, improvised at each reading off a series of composed themes, layers Courie's stylized reading with Dan Nettles' bitter-sweet melodies and edgy, distorted guitar.
  This day's selection was a work-in-progress: "Last Sad Song", [8 min, 24 sec], music by Dan Nettles, text by Laylage Courie, played by Dan Nettles, guitar; Jeff Reilly, drums, & read by Laylage Courie in the 217 window.
