very nice live phasing, keeping the rest, and working towards intensity round 5" followed by a great retirement..great live event it must've been. Well done
thanks guys. I've been busy and have catching up to do on this site...looking forward to more listening! as for this track (and many others in this category) it's a mashup of stuff from improvfriday.ning ; basically there's a weekly "event" where brand new stuff gets posted (improv-based or written for IF) and then some of us do quick mashes and post within the same event. sometimes the mashes leave the originals somewhat intact, sometimes it's a full-blown reorganization of materials. the main thing for me is it's fun as fuck!
hi bruce, nice organ. I dragged one home on the bumper of my truck. it has switch effects and a tremelo wheel, and has a similar sound, discounting a couple machine/helicopter keys, which must be used.
my only question is why do the insides of the keys flash like they are on fire when I play it?
a Deerhoof "pre-cover" I made after they posted the sheet music prior to releasing the album in October 2008. Mine was purposely straight compared to some of the others that folks made but I thought I predicted the band's version pretty well…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand
and sky…
This was an experiment today to try and write and record a song in 2 hours. It came out as a lullaby, I wrote it after a neighbor girl asked if she could have her ball back from my yard and I felt like an old man.
what I meant, really, is that I liked the way you felt free to play around with limited materials in this track (and others); and the different colors coming out of one chord is what made me think of Stimmung. It's all about the ear, and you have a good one, rather than theoretical knowledge (though that doesn't hurt, despite what some folks say).
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…

Reminds me of Enjoy Your Rabbit by Sufjan Stevens.
so damn good Bruce! enjoyed that ride trough your eyes and colleagues of the mash-up!
Well, I thought that was really exciting! Exhilarating!
I'm really enjoying what you do Bruce. Very inventive, very playful.
Love it.
I like it.
Superb mash! Thanks for including me. Kavin.
This sounds like it could have come off of the "Infrared Roses" album... *most excellent!*
excellent!

interesting....
Damn- this is out there but really interesting!
holy crap; chance discovery (for me) teh awesome!

cool is the word.
[updated]
man, great touches. & thanks for the compliments on 'folly'...cool that you listened all the way through & 'got it'
your vocals are very soothing. songs are great too!
great little tune. the almost falling apart at the seams thing...you pull if off really well...which is harder than many folks think!
such nice tones!

very nice; almost stimmung-like in the chord focus
wonderful stuff...!
