“For Now,” the closing, ninth track of "And every fleck of russet," marks Bob Gluck’s return to the keyboard-less analog synthesizers that fascinated him in the 1970s, Buchla, Arp, Moog, and EMS. Now, playing and multi-tracking a Pittsburgh Instruments “Taiga” modular synthesizer, Gluck crafts a mass of twelve oscillator voices, their pitches and filtering steadily and subtly drifting, harking back to long tone drones explored by La Monte Young, Charlemagne Palestine, and Terry Riley. Bob Gluck’s interests lead him to utilize these drones as the ground for two evocative solos, the first, constructed from spare melodic fragments on piano, followed by a mournful yet assertive exposition that exploits the expressive, pitch-bending capabilities of a Roli “Seaboard” and its Equator software synthesizer. As the solos submerge back into the long-tone clusters, “For Now” brings a calm resolution to the eclectic, multi-vocal recording.
