for the first time in a long, long while matt and i got together with ted and brian for sunday morning music making. it was a very productive session.  i recorded a bit of it with my field recorder. here are a few little sections cross faded together (including the beginning which was a voice memo recorded on my phone as i returned to the studio from a bathroom break. i just love the sound of  music echoing down the hallway).

the players + the played…

ted – cello / laptop

brian – microphones / laptop ( processing lines sent out from everyone)

matt – electric guitar / laptop / electroncs

marc – acoustic guitar / laptop / electronics / bass guitar

just a brief room mic excerpt from the most recent unrecnow session. we have a show in march and are trying to flush out ideas for a new piece. we’ve been moving around between a few different ideas, we’ll see what happens. we also had to take some photos of ourselves for the website of a documentary that we are scoring. i’m really looking forward to getting more of the footage so that we can begin the scoring in ernest.

here is an edit of a few parts from the unrecongizable now/oo-ray session from sunday. matt is playing guitar + xylophone, ted is playing cello + laptop and i am playing baritone guitar, monome and laptop. it was kind of nice to listen back to this after a few days and hear so much nice stuff that i don’t even remember hearing the first time. i guess sometimes you almost get put in a trance when you are creating music like this where it all becomes a blur. i think that i kind of enjoy that.

hope you like it.

i just found this great scrapbook of photos from tonalism on sassas‘ website.  there are some photos of the great people from dublab in there and one of unrecognizable now.  go check it out.

matt + i had a nice long improv session with brian (gasp) tonight at our music space. here are a few little excerpts of some room mic recordings. between our out of tune ukulele, piano + harp and brian’s non-western instruments (sruti box + mbira) it was a challenge to find a place where all the notes could work well together. i think it sounded pretty good… well, it was fun. that’s all that matters.

here are the last little bit of music and video from our most recent show.

we were using a three camera set-up to make the video.  it created a kind of a kaleidoscope effect by showing the same from different angles.
