Neo Cons Of 2018

Waiting For The Ax

Mike Levin on reeds, Jeff Thomas on drums, me on moog bass..all live.

LazyAss

Recorded live, one take..Mike Levin on sax, Jeff Thomas playing his ass off on drums, and me on moog bass, sax treatment in the solo and percussion. This tune was picked up by a US Senate investigation into the KBR FRAUD of the house trailers sold to FEMA post Katrina..they made a documentary of it and used this in the intro! One of my proudest moments was the fact that Dick Cheney had to sit through the harmonized (ha) 2nds in the bridge. En' joy!

Everything's Just Fine Thanks (live)

Piccolo bass lead work, chopped drums and an ad from the 50's. all in a daze work here at Scout 2 bit studios.

DogBoyLightsUp

An all in the box tune I did experimenting with a chord progression on an organ. As you can tell 1) I like the way Miles used to play organ 2) I can hardly play organ. 

Cold Day Dub

A percussion collage done mostly inside the box.

Bangalore Torpedo Tower

All me on fuzz bass, strange samples , percussion. Like the title says, slightly askew.

Deeply inspired by the misfortune of a misunderstood rebel, I composed this moving ballad this morning, in two movements. The first part sonically paints Mr Terry happily riding his bicycle down the dusky streets (street?) of Moulton, AL, blissfully unaware that his headlamp had been stolen, as he tried to return the errant raccoon Cuddles to his rightful caregiver, his aunt Terry Terry Terry. Part two deals with the anguish of being arrested by Moulton's finest, and his futile attempt to obtain a cash bond of $2 million/US.

Do Not Disturb, I am Already Disturbed

I am in a small group of experimenters called FeedBack Friday. Lots of good stuff there. One person (Fuzzonaut) works in the same flow I have adopted, which is 100% live improv, using almost the same source(s) as I do as well. So I thought it would be cool to play together. As I cannot afford a ticket from Chicago to Switzerland, we thought of doing a "tune" in the way we work. He recorded his track, I recorded mine, and we sent them to each other, without first hearing what we'd done, IOW a total improv. The only constraint was the time, so when I mixed them they started and ended at the same time..we used 4:20 for that . This ended up pretty dense, but there's also some interesting dynamics. 

the musicians are: 

Me on mbira, CircuitBent echo and phaser pedals, tape echo, plate reverb, DBX subharmonic generator and radio

FuzzoNaut on bass, a BIG lot of pedals and vox

Weapons Grade Plum: Title

The Chaotic Neutral For The Whatever

I think there's two of them....According to Chinese Astrology, I am a Water Dragon. Ok then.
