recording from a live performance.

live

oh crass, able, crap-parcel bass, arc ho

writings on a rotting rittenhouse

notes on bone density and how to show one's teeth

notes on gardening and bridge repair

full title: 
"This lead blanket exudes an infallible self-validating comfort. The weight is irreplaceable, with an unparalleled dichotomesque caress, both welcomed and oppressive. The expanse commands a span of attention in its entirety, as if a murderous dictator is cleaning your wounds. Its presence churns your stomach, but it tells you that its movement is better than even one moment of stagnation. Cost has proven no object, no matter, even at all costs. This lead blanket asphyxiates to a point of euphorically precise vision. A thing so horrifying and vulnerable and undocumented, that it may be pieced together from a lost and broken and long neglected beauty. "

"This lead blanket..."

i forgot this existed until today, when i found it buried in my itunes labelled "swi rough." back in 2006, i was deciding if solo bass compositions were worth my time. in the end, i decided it was, but none of them sound like this, whatsoever. 

She wants it rough (2006)

the things i use for my solo bass guitar work are my hands, a bass, a cabinet, and an amp. i do not use pedals. 

in the past, i've written/played with portland bands: orquestra pacifico tropical, ghosts & monsters, GALLONS, pluvial, HATS OFF, excuses, sun noble, and pigeons. 
i used to have some of that stuff uploaded here, but fuck it.
