Six months or so ago, I left off with a show review from a band I love to see live. Strangely enough given the number of times I've seen them in the last year, I haven't seem them since. Sammy Bananas has made his way onto a Scion ad though.
I've been talking with friends for a while now about a concept for a tape label and project: one/one tapes. Each tape will be a twenty minute creation played and crafted by me with its recipient in mind. No doubt there'll be some overlap in themes, phrases, and more, but that speaks to my limitations as a player more than anything else.
The tapes are temporarily on hold while I get back into playing regularly and hopefully figure out a workable recording set-up. The equipment's there, but the trial and error has yet to get underway.
For now, here's a list of the materials at hand: clarinet, tenor sax, trumpet, mbira, tambourine, contact mic, delay distortion, fuzz, phaser, amps, glass slide, bass, guitar, hand drum, drum machine.
When each tape is made hopefully they'll become part of a musical, creative dialogue or perhaps start a new one. The first batch by the end of September?
