bad paintings, photographed poorly, #6: 'great moments with mr. lincoln'

I haven't forgotten you. This bandis a time commitment. So was moving. So is cashing in (and going to see things and trying to find places to do things and all of that stuff). The things I promised in June are still happening. Really.

Satellite View of America, Housepaint on cheap paper, March 2010 or something.

To whomever is actually reading this: I am working on some things you might be more interested in than paintings of skeletons (though I have many of these and I will totally sell you one if for some reason you are crazy and want to buy one).

more toys

Songs with things like 'words' and 'arrangements' aren't coming to me. But for about a minute it seemed like a good idea, so.

looper practice

In May I played a short improvised set here, behind that big white sheet:

I didn't really have any grasp as to how to make Live loop the way I needed to in 7, so my piano/howling/badly-played guitar combination got synced to the master tempo, got out of sync with me, and sounded like a jumbled, unlistenable mess.

I am practicing ways to deal with this in the future using newer software. No edits were done here. I'm also posting it as a WAV because it's not really a (finished) product. Just imagine that it's dark out, there are some drawings on the sheet, and I'm making high-pitched noises with my voice and it's just like you were there.

Looper practice, Saturday night (guitar/piano/software/footswitches)

Two songs from last December. I was going to perform some more stuff like this, but it instead became an event at which Bryan and I played exciting records and when I tried writing another kind of like it I found myself at a complete and total loss for ideas, so I moved on. Either open tunings and delays lead to good ideas or the same one repeated indefinitely.
