Threnody sessions, pt. I

all photos by Loren Franz. special thanks go out to him for allowing us to use the Lodge...a fantastic place to record, and we will be back often.

Collaborations and rants

What must a person do to find a pack of GHS Boomers in Western Washington? Seriously. Four stores, no luck. Anyway.

Slowly working on vocals for Gnomon, and Izalith is currently working on a collaboration with Oneirogenic; very open-ended, similar to the direction Izzy will be going in for the new material. Tony has really been inspiring us lately, and it's a real pity he's in Idaho and not Seattle...tsk tsk. Should be out by May. We're excited about the new work, as well as polishing old stuff. It seems as though much of our music, Gnomon in particular, have all been so labored. Now we can see if they walk on their own.

Recording at the Masonic Lodge tomorrow. All improv. Abstract. We should come back with some really crazy sounds. Thanks to David Sylvian for the inspiration, and Franz for the space.

DIY, pt. I

3/10/10 - demo vocal tracking. a long time coming. broke / upgrading gear anyway. ill. working, reading, trying, lamenting. in an attic trying not to be heard / not be a bother. how unpunk. made a pop filter, saved $20. need a condenser mic...$100. mic tube preamp...$30. won't eat. let's hope it's all worth it.
