I pull a micro-cassette recorder out of my cigar box ukelele in the middle of the set (so I can play a sample on it through my amplifier), so first I tried to stretch out or break all the strings, and ended up ripping the bridge off. Then I accidentally pulled the deck straight through the sound board, rather than deftly through the sound hole. I think it looks better this way..
A trail of destruction and tiny bells
Tonight I'm heading up to San Francisco to take part in the The Pmocatat Ensemble:
"The Pmocatat Ensemble records the sounds of their instruments onto various forms of consumer-ready media. (Pmocatat stands for "prerecorded music on cds and tapes and things".) Then, they improvise using only the recorded media."
The tape improvisation is going down at the Luggage Store Experimental Music Series 8pm, with James Swanagon opening.
