music for fishy’s film
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010 | news&Events | No Comments
so my friend eric the fish asked my friend barry & i if we’d make some music for him to use in a film he’s making about los angeles & bicycles
…i went over to barry’s studio in los feliz & recorded some drums & some harmonica …when it came time to lay down the harmonica tracks i sat & watched the footage eric provided & let the harp play itself …then barry sweetened it up considerable w/ fender rhodes keyboards, lap steel guitar, bicycle bells & chimes & wonderfulness
…these are our sound-track ditties, amiable weirdness that evokes but doesn’t go any place much
…i’m sort of thinking of them as musical vignettes …they make me smile
(click on the titles below)
bikebells
grooveing
2laneblktop
lilditty
trucker
…barry is the prince of southern california …he is multi-platinum in every way he can be
…can’t wait to see what eric does w/ this material!
Llyn Foulkes & his ‘Church Of Art’
Thursday, February 11th, 2010 | news&Events | No Comments
the ‘Church Of Art’ is where i spend some tues. nites:
http://www.unitedartscene.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=110&Itemid=105
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

there’s a new *old* album available on stoshMachek.com;
‘oils&minerals’ recorded in 2005(?) …O&M is a collaboration between stosh machek
& the very talented brett simons of tinyVoicesMusic.com
…the hyper-active mr. simons played, recorded, & engineered a solid groove of his own design
& slapped it onto the back of a vocal track of stosh’s reading,
finishing the whole thing off in one rainy afternoon while re-formatting his hard drive
…now this recording is available somewhere besides stosh’s feature readings
…enjoy!

when the time came, i haddado something, i hadn’t
updated any thing on the site for years, it was not being well kept up
…then when the server upgraded their shizznitt, my site stopped showing up
…left in the dust
…taking the opportunity for re-appraisal, i realized i was
tired of the old website design, & of all the pages & features on the old site
that i hadda figure; if i was tired of, everybody else was probably tired of it too, & besides, i never
made a dime off any of the shit i tried selling
…so now we’re here, & we’ll see where we go from here
…for now, a place to cache & share art & news of personal flavor is all i want out of a cyber-presence
