CASSETTE RECORDINGS VOL1
Before my portable cassette tape recorder was stolen (and before i upgraded to the Zoom H4) I used to carry it with me everywhere I went with the basic intention of capturing ideas as they came flying by. As well as to capture the sounds of daily activity, the natural tones of nature, the communication of people - their characteristics, personality types, and social structures. I took it with me as I traveled all around or wherever I could go. Essentially documenting my journey all while rigorously attempting to capture every auditory nuance of the universe. I was definitely on pace in doing so when i began to notice it becoming increasingly difficult to find/get ahold of brand new blank cassette tapes. My romanticized Lomax-like-musicologist escapades of discoveries made/moments documented, now live quietly alone inside of a few cardboard time capsules (boxes) in the closet. Presently, whenever those melancholy types of days come by... when Im feeling reflective or jus plainly uninspired... it arouses me to open up those boxes and sort through the hundreds of unlabeled cassettes I compiled. It brings me back to that moment in time. That I cherish so much. That I am so thankful for.
I've recently began the long awaited process of transferring all those tapes into digital audio files. It has been such a tremendous experience I don't want it to ever end! So I'm kinda taking my time with it and trying to be selective about the things I believe are legitimately worth sharing or, more-so, worth investing the time to active listening. Certainly this will include all the musical ideas - complete or not - but most certainly any and all music made among gatherings of friends.
Here, i am releasing the first volume of songs. It means a lot to me because its friends (or strangers) playing together, and enjoying it! On every track is myself, solo, or accompanied with one or several different friends, in different situations or different environments. Hopefully you'll be able to pick up on it. Feel free to ask me anything. Whatever you'd like. Wheew, that was long ... I bet I lost most of you LOL. Oh well, fuk it.! Enjoy....
