ok. so the past few weeks have been spent sleeping in hotels, cars, empty apartments, on air mattresses, couches, etc. eventually this will be over and i will sit down. shortly after that, i will get a few boxes out of a shed and will resume where i left off. in the meantime, a few more cassette tape things may make their way onto here.

maybe not.

 also, a comment got me thinking about the appeal in low fidelity recording.

 it's got to be the intimacy. as if you were there the whole time.

sorry to be leaving

truly.

here is a little 3 song EP sort of thing. one song is a reworked version of something that appeared on kidsounds. the other two are very new. written and recorded in the last week or so.

as relocation occurs, recording toys must be placed in boxes and stowed away. figured it'd be best to go  ahead and get this out as is, rather than wait for more material to materialize.

download here.

updates pt. II

ok. after some [vain] attempts with a new playlist doohickey, i will be going through old posts and just using the archive.org playlist player thang. stay tuned.

(the underlying motive for this post was to make sure my previous, ill-fated post titled "shit" followed by a bunch of html code was no longer shown as the most recent post)

updates

i'm just now noticing that most of the mp3 players don't seem to be appearing while using Google Chrome. damn you technology. i hope to have this remedied soon. along with more noise stuffs.

kidsound

this is a 36 minute piece.  it was pretty much all recorded on the handheld tape deck.  field sounds and mostly unfinished, acoustic numbers.  it's all one track as i can't help but feel that's how it just ought to be.  i enjoy it.  hope someone else does as well.  song titles coming soon.



download at archive.org
note: i wouldn't be surprised if a few of these tunes resurface sometime in the future in different forms.

ABC Nicorette

here is something pretty different.
these are a few excerpts from a long of night of jamming with two friends.  for the time being, we are calling it ABC Nicorette.


spacy, improv guitar 'n' drums 'n' synth can be downloaded here. or click play, butthead.

nothing is better than you

it's about time.

it's been a while since anything has been finished and posted. this is the newest hodge-podge of songs. some acoustic and some electric. most pretty noisy, made by things of wood and wiring and metal and plastic.  i tried to crawl a bit beyond the shell with some of them.  i don't know how far i got, but i am fairly pleased with a few.

some recorded digitally, some on tape, some from tape to homemade vinyl back to digital, etc.

notes of non-interest: the original working title was "nothing is better than you, anything would be better than you."  -- nothing meaning nothingness.

i reckon there will be another "handholder" tape coming soon chock full of the left overs from this one.
