about

It would be a stretch to say that any of these pieces were “composed.” Everything, aside from the drum sequences on some of the songs, was improvised. And even the progression of drum sequences was cobbled together mostly in real-time.

In some cases, I improvised with other artists (friends Ken Villa on saxophone, and Jason Shaeffer on guitar), in others I improvised with myself… recording various tracks on my Tascam 4-track one after the next, riffing with no preparation against what I’d laid down previously.

A pastiche of images and phrases that come to mind:

Flooded one-bedroom apartment
Growing bean plants
Nitrous oxide
Garage converted into a jam room
Sandwiches for lunch, wine for dinner
Star Trek: The Next Generation
LSD
Los Angeles riots

about

TestTubeBaby Vancouver, British Columbia

Just walked
On a long slab of concrete
Probably hundreds of metric tons
To the store
Thinking about the similarities
And differences
Between me and a squirrel
