New Video: Stull’s “Tear Kettle”
I just finished a video I began at the end of 2017 while just playing with my iPhone camera. After several computer crashes and losing my edit more than once, for maybe a year I thought I had lost all the raw footage. I found it sometime in 2020 while cleaning up files during the … Continue reading New Video: Stull’s “Tear Kettle”
New Video: Kelly Coyle’s “Traveling, Sitting Quite Still”
Kelly is my guitar and bass teacher. I started taking lessons in March as a way to get through lockdown. I had always wanted to take lessons, but either always said I didn’t have the money or didn’t deserve them. Getting back into playing music has helped get me through this year. I’m studying walking … Continue reading New Video: Kelly Coyle’s “Traveling, Sitting Quite Still”
New Music: We Danced and It Had Eyes Flat Like Gold Coins
Part of a continuing collaboration with improviser/guitarist Scott Bazar. I designed the track around the improvised pieces he sent me. He used guitar, an electric Christmas tree star topper, touch and sound reactive LED puppets, GE LED light stock, an LED Halloween skull, Ebow with a metal plate, a portable Christmas projector with signal, feedback, … Continue reading New Music: We Danced and It Had Eyes Flat Like Gold Coins
Sailor Lugosi’s Dead
A video I edited with some recent music I did for John King of The Drunken Odyssey. Below is a companion piece using the same melody from “Jolly Sailor Bold.” It’s ambient, if that includes soundscapes of a ghost ship floating over R’lyeh and awakening the Great Old One. Continue reading Sailor Lugosi’s Dead
New Music: Zazel dans le Nitro
This continues a collaboration with improviser/guitarist Scott Bazar. There’s a playlist on SoundCloud of what we’ve done so far. He’s a continual inspiration. I never know what he’s used to make his tracks and it’s like a surprise I get at the end of the process when he sends me notes. I put those in … Continue reading New Music: Zazel dans le Nitro
Just What I Needed
Check out some J9 videos if you enjoy your humor somewhere between quotidian observation and dada. One of my favorite images from the series is of a miniature motivational hippo exhorting from beneath a car in a grocery store parking lot. That may give you some idea of what to expect from them. I look … Continue reading Just What I Needed
“The Brain Destroys the Animal”: New Stull Track
Stull exists in two realms: One is as a improv rock trio and the other is as a recording project based on a process that begins with Tracy’s percussion/field recordings. You can hear them woven together in the Stullification playlist. When we’re in a room together, I mostly play bass. On these recordings, I play bass and … Continue reading “The Brain Destroys the Animal”: New Stull Track
New Music: Flowerdew’s Timeslip Ensemble
I just finished a track with Scott Bazar and made a playlist over at SoundCloud for our collaborations. I’ve now played music with Scott for about two decades, and I’m hoping I get to work with him on stage again soon. Some of the most fun I’ve had playing live has been while performing Scott’s … Continue reading New Music: Flowerdew’s Timeslip Ensemble
