I used only the percussion track as a template for the entire work, re-harmonized and replayed the original melody over the first half with a spaghetti-western-spy type of vibe, and then wrote a new melody over the harmonic changes of the second section.  I played guitars, saxophones, zither, gong, flutes, clarinet, bass, melodica, additional percussion, a sine wave generator for sub bass, and used sampled sounds to play in the strings and horns.

"Spaghetti-western-surf-spy" - Bleeding Fingers Contest

This is my take using only the original percussion track and adding live Persian Tar, synth and string samples. I hope you like it!

Primus - Pure Imagination

An aural postcard, these three songs were recorded live as a duo in Sebastopol, California.  Rain was falling, frogs were croaking, and we were holed up in a small room overlooking the soggy world outside.  When we got home and took a listen we decided to invite a few of our favorite artists, who we are lucky enough to call dear friends, to add something to each of them. On ‘Hold On’, Marië Abe played accordion and Elizabeth Goodfellow sang and played percussion.  Our first cover, ‘The Thin Red Line’ was written by one of our favorite songwriters, Michael Bush, and features Dina Maccabee on violin.  The title track features Jesse Olsen Bay on pump organ, and Beth on cymbals.  The cover art was painted by David A. Soto. 

A special edition of the EP is being released on cassette via the Touch Tapes label, featuring a fifteen minute Side B amalgam of sounds and songs from our past, present, and future.
