steppin out of the shadows.....

Life goes on in the studio..... Someday an intrepid explorer might happen upon my recordings and exclaim " This stuff makes me drowsy". I recorded two tracks of AM radio, then I re-recorded them backwards. I call it "Instant Russian". I added some bass and guitar(backwards)
for the backing tracks. My playing really comes alive in reverse...... I also did a piece inspired by the recent launch of the Nasa Pluto probe. In keeping with the space theme it's got some "spacy" delayed Moog stuff, with bass and a wrenchingly melancholy guitar improv. SIGH....
My other activities include currently reading a book on the history of the Soviet Gulag penal system. Its like a slowly unfolding nightmare. I am available to discuss it any time. I also finished the painting I have been fighting with. Still have to frame it though......
To my patron: Its almost finished!
