ah, yes, the ‘church of art’ w/ lynn foulkes et.al. …when not painting contemporary pop canvases, the venerable elder statesman of the ‘brewery art’ complex in down town L.A., lynn f., coaxes sound from his ‘machine’, a hand wrought collection of instruments existing somewhere near where a fright train of found sculpture slams into an 18wheeler of one-man-band …this instruMental mish-mosh consists of approx. 2dozen antique car horns, chimes & vibes, assorted ringers, dingers, hitters & bangers …oh, & he’s playing an electric 1 string bass w/ his right foot …it can be kinda like beefheart w/out the guitars
…lynn is usually accompanied on tuesdays by ’sceince mike’ roof on keyboard, theremin & squeak toys, & sculptor bruce gray on heavily effected & affected vocals …as a member of the COA congregation & foulkes flock, i occasionally contribute …doing mostly scat vocals, & sometimes percussives
[i stumble up to the stage about 17:25 on the longer of the videos found at the above link, & then a gain a bit later, altho the sound quality off my mic. is not great]
…these sessions are considered ‘open rehearsals’ as opposed to performances as such, altho they’ve recently been being podcasted live …verily; COA doth maketh a strange & joyful noise unto the lord …hallelujah!
-& yeah, there’s a FB page
