Permanent Makeup digital only album - NCR 019 I Don't Like You Either RELEASE

No Clear Records 019 is an instant records we kept secret while recording and mixing. We made all the music up through 2 days of coming up with brand new ideas and recording them immediately in January. Then we took the last few months with vocals, mixing and art. Right now, this is a digital only album and all digital proceeds we make will be donated to Planned Parenthood.

IMPROVISATION
Meandering thoughts pulsate through the dark filter of my scattered brain as I hit "record" on a microcassette recorder intended to collect professional dissertations at the push of a button and a loosening of the throat. Three instruments fill a room formerly inhabited by a bed that occupied the entire floorspace. Two grown people with furniture too large for their 2 bedroom 1920 cottage, unwilling to relent in their self motivated task of filling every millimeter of this house with markers of vacations and better times. They look in from the past, a recent history of giving up on America and fleeing the current education dump. No looking back. The guitar, bought in the northernmost corner of the continental US, buzzes with excitement. Borrowed drums and a cassette player purchased from a dead man's estate sale filled with a tape that hit me in the neck a few years ago.

Transitions Art Gallery, 2007ish:
A whirlwind of sound mixing voices, rewinding, noise and hiss fills the air at the punk art space. Tapes chucked into the audience by experimental auteurs Hal McGee and Andrew Chadwick. A high velocity cassette collides with my neck and I choke on my own laughter and short breath. "Ironing Folk," says the tape.

Present Day:
Mind blank with anticipation, I turn the ceiling fan on for some extra background noise. We set a timer to give the improv one of two concrete reality cornerstones: Time must have a stop. 3 movements. Go.

Apartment Show # 7 part 1

Hal Mcgee has curated 6 minimalist experimental improvisation shows at his flat in Gainesville, Florida. He brought the circus to St Petersburg this month and we put together an early afternoon show of improvisation at varying volumes in different rooms of my apartment. We drew cards randomly to choose partners in order to support the cut and paste burroughs environment we cling to in order to sculpt some sanity into our slapdash lives. Here's the first three videos from that show:
