Silly Midi Stuff

Oh yeah, that band thing…

Everyone has been extremely busy with other endeavors so alas we have not practiced or played live in quite a while. I guess it will happen when it happens. I haven’t really been that proactive either, so you can add laziness to the heap of reasons why you haven’t heard from us.

I am, however, still writing more tunes for a new cd – and will try to bundle 8 of the latest with 4 of the really old ones (Ego, First Five, Mariner’s, You’ll come around). Looking to book some time in late October at Last Beat again. Hopefully we can secure Paul Williams for production. Of course if Andy Partridge happened to take an interest in the project, I guess I would let him help too.

When I do get a little break at work, I open up cuebase, draw some silly midi notes and come up with the most vapid loops like this, this, and this. Most of the patches used are emulated 70s era synths which add to the cheese value. It is a stress-relieving exercise at least. I promise the ‘real’ new stuff doesn’t sound like this.

Will let ya’ll know when ‘real’ band stuff happens too.
