Don't Forget!

We are all still very hard at work on the third leg. The second leg is completed and awaiting approval from the production department for release. Also, it lacks funding. But the third leg is in process, nonetheless. A very tiring process... Bargaining is a very hard concept to conceptualize.

Finally, though, I have found a way. The record will be stylized with an exposing glamour (visually that is) while the prominent instrument will be… you guessed it… a tape recorder. I am finding new ways to incorporate lesser known aspects of my life and the lives around me into my recordings. I am carrying a tape recorder everywhere and taping audio journals. So far I have gathered some great stuff. I will insert this material as if it were a bit of instrumentation into the third leg. I will sugar it with nasty sounding tape noise as if tape noise were an ancient instrument sound.

And my photographer friend and I are once again partnering up. We are scouting some fancy and flattering locations (some familiar, some far away). It will be this marriage of the familiar and the alien, the poor and the rich, the static and the clarity, that will bring the record concepts to your ears and eyes instead of your reading brain.
I will fill you in more as I go along. For now, thank you so much for your support and for your diligent listening.

NOTE: I’m sorry if I offended some of you with my referring to a certain someone as “my photographer friend.” This friend has a name; his name is Caleb. And he is one of my closest friends in the world. But he is also and amazing photographer. Recently we have added more depth to our friendship by introducing our art to each other... Now you know.
