The above recording was made this morning - i was just singing some opera stuff and got involved and thought i'd plug the zoom into the mac and see what i could do, improvising and stuff. It took me a while to figure out that once you attach the zoom to a computer it becomes an audio interface - whatever that means. But after not being able to make it work for a bit, i must have figured it out cos the little meters were thrusting forward each time i scratched the cool metal gauze.
To enrich the experiment, i played with some "garageband" loops, a field recording from Rishikesh, and also contributed live effects with some glass and a vial of Chinese herbal tablets. It runs for 13 minutes and consists of three distinct chapters. It was one of those things - i just kept doing and laying down stuff and then pushing 'record' again and in an hour i had this piece and it is the first thing like it i have ever done and so it seemed like a good idea to post it here. So one day when i'm still looking up at the night sky i will know that i climbed these stairs and hundreds of others on the way.
Keep your mind sharp and your heart open. Now... write just one true thing -
