‘Paratransit’ #onetakestudy Nº 21

It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these excercises; specifically something I’d once called a ‘structural paraphrase’ (my, my, did I go hard on artspeak with that one 😶). Anyway, please enjoy this very loose improvisative paraphrase (with apologies to CT).

And please excuse the scritchy-scratchy pots—the potentiometer in my volume pedal in particular may be beyond cleaning. (You can help me fix that.)

‘All You Zombies’ #onetakestudy Nº 20

A little contrapuntal ditty complete with lighting design courtesy of the Berlin sky, and an output jack that is on the fritz 😵

‘Trash Fumble’ #onetakestudy* Nº 19

I kept fumbling this one—thus another asterisk [*] on ‘#onetakestudy,’ and thus the title. This one’s very much work-in-progress.

A disprepared ditty bouncing some ideas—well, barely ideas, more fragments of fragments—that emerged from a session with Kaffe Matthews, and a recent gig with Camila Nebbia and Gianluca Elia. It is what it is, but, with a little more work, maybe I can make it into something.

‘The Paraphonic Guitarist’ #onetakestudy* Nº 18

I asked elsewhere:

Other than Dean Brown, which players have developed a facility for using the volume and wah pedals simultaneously? Whose playing should I be studying?

Judging from some of the responses I got, however, I needed, I think, to provide a little more context.

So please consider this short improvisation that context. It’s a demo of where I find myself right now, and I’d really welcome suggestions for approaches, techniques, models to study. Let me know what you think.

* irt the asterisk on ‘#onetakestudy,’ this one missed the first take. I wasn’t really ready for this, and I made a couple of aborted takes of the first phrase or two.

‘Breathe (Just Breathe)’ #onetakestudy Nº 17

My technique feels a little rusty (been busy again with the ‘extracurricular activities’ that come with my so-called career), but I needed to take a break and get something out there.

This one is a little exercise in shorter cycles, or phrase lengths—a little more regular in its underlying scaffolding. I hope you find something in the noise. Enjoy.

‘Salvo and Echo’ (#onetakestudy* Nº 16)

* If you’re wondering what the asterisk on ‘#onetakestudy’ is about, it’s because this one—the only one in the series—is not the first take. I recorded the first couple of phrases on an aborted take before starting again—I had not felt quite ready yet.

I’ve taken the title, ‘Salvo and Echo,’ from Doctor Nerve’s The Monkey Farm—I hope you don’t mind, Nick. If you don’t know it, check out The Monkey Farm, it’s my favorite Nerve album.

Gonggong 225088: ‘Niche Shift I’

New video (‘Niche Shift I’) from Gonggong 225088! As I wrote in the chat:

This was one of those videos that I almost decided against posting. ​​I think this one really highlights the discrepancy, or dissonance, between the visual and the auditory. ​​I felt like maybe uploading the video might take away from the magic of the listening experience (if that makes sense). ​​Reveal[ing] too much of the nuts’n’bolts and pulleys’n’curtains’n’backdrops behind the sounding processes. ​​Anyway, I love the pace—tides ebb’n’flow—that Yorgos and Camila created here. [More…]

What became ‘Niche Shift I’ was, for me, the key transitional passage from the album—the part of the performance that really caught the entire trio by surprise on the evening. Enjoy.

‘Coefficient of Friction’ (#onetakestudy Nº 15)

Taking a short break from The Big Hustle, and all the extra-curricular activities that surround music (to borrow an expression from CT), to do this short improvisation. Enjoy the noise!

‘Inside The Box’ (#onetakestudy Nº 14)

Thinking in-the-box (I almost called this one ‘Four-By-Four’). A little something that I walked away with from my last performance. Not quite as… lyrical or inventive, I think, as what transpired at the gig, but it is a one-take. And a hat-tip to Richard Scott for mentioning EP last week.

‘Grade Separation’ (#onetakestudy Nº 13)

At Friday’s solo set I found myself in spaces I had not occupied in a while—some techniques I hadn’t really leaned into in years. I wondered, without prep, if I could make something from these. Enjoy!

‘All The Wrong Notes’ (#onetakestudy Nº 12)

A quick’n’dirty improvisation—just something to try out a simplified recording and mixing setup. I have no idea if this one is any good. It’s what it is. (At least, as promised, it’s a first-take improvisation.)

As always, please hit me in the comments with any questions… although, as I went into this one with no plan, I’m not sure how helpful my answers might be. Regardless, thanks so, so much for listening!

‘Scratch’n’Sniff’ (#onetakestudy Nº 11)

A short, improvisative meditation on snaps and grids (or should that be unsnaps and degrids?). Simple, modest—nothing at all complicated—but it does exactly what I set out to do.
