Gear: Gretsch G5230t plugged into Danelectro Fab Echo plugged into old Kay 703 low volume tube amp. Mic'd with a B&K BM-5 ribbon mic directly into an IK Multimedia Pro Duo interface. That's it, nothing else. No eq, no compression, no extra drive. 

The Danelectro Fab Echo is a very limited delay meant to emulate that old slap-back sound from the 50's, does a pretty good job even with lack of adjustments. The delay time is fixed but you can set the balance between direct and delay as well as set the number of echo repeats from a single slap to a bunch, simulating a reverb of sorts.

Un petit hommage à Big Walter Horton, en essayant mon ampli Silvertone 1432 des années 1960, tout juste sorti de réparation.

That ain't it / Big Walter Horton

I am always wrapped up in my own mind. And I check my bank account.

Bank Account (One Take)

Pulled this from Friday's stream, this is one of those moments where the music takes over and this theme emerged. All the improv this week was restricted to guitar only, as all my quarter inch cords had broken except one. So I didn't have my delay pedal that is typically how I explore like this.
ㅤ
There's something about live improvisation that captures the essence of what I'm exploring with Khoma Brut, and helps create space where psychedelic folk meets experimental textures, where traditional song structures dissolve into pure sonic relationship and then evolve into songs. This particular improvisation came between Revolution Blues (Neil Young) and you can hear, at the very end, how it transitions into E major, leading to a cover of The Butcher, by Leonard Cohen. These Friday streams have become laboratories for discovering what wants to emerge.

The body of the work right now is all about connection between notes, the musician, the audience, and the mystery of what comes next.

🔥 Tonight on #Straturday Night Live — we kicked things off with a caffeine-fueled recap of my day ☕😂 Took a scenic walk through Capitola, already had dinner (yep, early bird style), and was ready to rock! 🌊🍽️🎸

We looked back at last night’s explosive show with Pyro John Watkins, who dropped fiery stories that lit up the chat! 💥🔥

Then Ron unearthed his old lap steel guitar, and we dove deep on Reverb checking out vintage gems. 🎸🔍

Finally, I unboxed the mystery box — it was the Danelectro Dan-O-Wah pedal! 🤘 Did a quick demo live, and I’ll have the full breakdown tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Studio rat. Genre hopper. Bass & piano player. Writer and builder. Lover of cheeseburgers.

I specialize in the "mistakes are interesting" school of production. So depending on your point of view my selections will either be sloppy or chock full of character. Feel is king. I hate making music with a mouse. Real pianos, tube guitar amps, and a lifetime of listening applied. 

Music and production I like for various reasons: 70's style jazz fusion, Headhunters during Chameleon phase, Frank Zappa, George Duke, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Rudy Van Gelder, Tower of Power, The Crusaders, The Meters, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine, Kev Hopper, Mark Egan, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Charles Bukowski, Larry Graham, Peter Gabriel, Niacin, Spinal Tap, Bros. Johnson, Bootsy, Jamerson, Die Kreuzen, Dead Kennedys, Film Noir, The Cramps, Propaganda, Buddy Holly, Surf Guitar, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Western Swing, Scrunch up your nose stank Funk, modular synth music, ambient, soundtracks, early pre-baroque music.
