	1.	Yes, yoked. Disembogue into dialogue, your portion loose in the pattern. 05:38
	2.	The patter joins in rejoinder. Each utter, a mouth, a mother. 06:59
	3.	Amidst these Gadarene goings-on, cleave the rift in the drift, none bereft. 02:37
	4.	This divot is a duet, kick on kick. 04:14
	5.	Thigmatropic attention tenders another one and other, gentle tether. 04:18
	6.	On terraces of touches in redoubtable rebound one finds one found a fellow feeling, pleasure in return. 04:05

about

Special What is an instrumental music duo consisting of tenor saxophone (played by Bryan Rogers) and percussion (played by Pete Angevine). Borrowing traits from such musical traditions as American minimalism, global folk, and Free Jazz, Special What uses a little to make a lot. They play partially composed, partially improvised music that might stick around in a Listening Ear longer than expected.

This music was developed from a handful of freely improvised sessions, where the essence of the most resonant bits of musical content and vocabulary were documented, distilled, and refined. The material was then bound together into a larger form, repeatable as a gestural composition while retaining its improvisational spirit. Recording was done live in the sanctuary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Atonement in Philadelphia, PA on December 5, 2022.
