end of an err


hectic crazy days and nights.
Moving mom out of polo club for good.
only Cynthia to help move furniture.
if only....
life was simpler
until then I am resigned to suffer
only when can I summon the will to change
and love all people
will suffering cease
that or my lease runs out

jamming at Thanksgiving was fun
with Mark and Ray
Raining, cold, miserable
perfect hot tub weather

two songs ripped for posterity

update my google calendar and go home. music next weekend. what i trial and tribulation

Pass the Word

time now for a new password.
one that is created by the first word in a menomic sentence.
like
This
Girl
Has
Nice
Lips
2
Kiss
then replacing some of the characters with numbers, non alpha characters or even ascii code.
results
+6#nl2K

all the best ideas get diluted.
I need to spend a week just writing down my thoughts.

3 brothers come to town
to get their heads around a problem
looming
between a mother and her brother
fed up with each other's
insouciant non·cha·lance

zombie boogie

last week's ProTools test was scary. Ian uses all the best strategies in the worst possible way. this week we have moved on.

four weeks to practice for a Live presentation.
this includes prodcasting and post production (video) works.

we have three projects:
Individual: Voice Over w/ music bed.
Partnership (w/harry) Dogma video?
Team (alex, aj, ian, harry?) Live tune...

asking questions podcast

I am the lone drummer. four different performance / presentations, each with a differing genre of music.
let's see there is:
gypsy swing jazz: boom chuck
slow waltz: three four time
samba: ethnic 1, 2 on the downbeat
salsa clave: who is up for that? Hal.
reggae ballad or ukulele raga? hmmmmmm.

and my tools?

Ableton Live: samba-gypsy-waltz medley
live performance using visuals and lighting.

Sony Acid Pro: salsa-ylang ylang ??
get beats from Raimo :: Trip Hop

Band in a Box: reggae-waiting in vain

Bob Moog
Moog envy

Moogerfooger
bad robot

immersing myself in the technology surrounding music. inspired by Ray Koivunen's video short "What is Music" I prepare for the December "event" Live! in the Smith Theater. maybe also pull something together for the faculty showcase on November 30th.

Meanwhile mom has returned to the hospital. in the next few weeks she will be relocated to an institution and we will need to clear out her apartment.

who makes the album covers for new releases? Hypnosis. Pink Floyd. Brian Eno. Cocteau Twins, Depeche mode. Cure. Howard Jones. Egberto Gismonti & friends.
