Having a tidy yard does bring a nice sense of order, especially
when you remove the cubic yards of road gravel that was plowed onto
the vegetation. Cleared out the culvert (Kepler Approved), raked
out what I should have done last fall, apparently got some garlic
volunteers in our planter beds, good stuff.
Went to a show in Burlington last night at the Community of Sound
[1] and saw five stellar performances from a variety of noise/
"experimental" musicians that ranged from free percussion to
drawn string drones to synthesizer meltdowns, all with reactive
video pulsing above it. After binging on Bach's cello suites and
the Well Tempered Clavier [2], the intense wash of sound was a
welcomed change. I have signed myself up to participate in an
upcoming 12-hour drone-a-thon in Adamant, VT as a part of Black
Fly Days (gotta love the synergy of experimental music and small
town festivals). I've re-arranged my rack slightly to make use
of some dusty modules, and currently trying to figure out how
to boil things down into one channel.
