Here’s the sound file from last nights improvisation using only natural objects. My plan is to perhaps incorporate some of this into the Beep Family Orchestra show planned for this Saturday.

Here’s the sound file from last nights improvisation using only natural objects. My plan is to perhaps incorporate some of this into the Beep Family Orchestra show planned for this Saturday.

Only! Only! Only! Tonight on Hollow Earth Radio Amber & I will share new music picks from Wall of Sound, including Sublime Frequencies recordings from Burma and Thai Pop! We’ll also be debuting musics by Doug Haire who recently recorded our found sound set for an upcoming episode of Sonarchy! Plans also include live snippets from a noisy show last night at the Bikery with Talbot Tagora, Climax Golden Twin and Shearing Pinx, && music just recently imported in our library submitted by peeps all over the world. The plan is also to do an homage to the animist orchestra (who we just heard about this weekend) – read more about that here: http://www.jerman.littleenjoyer.com/animist.html
Also, I just picked up a rerelease of Penetration – An Aquarian Symphony by the YaHoWha 13. Check this out! It’s basically a bunch of psychadelic jams done at 5 a.m. in the morning by a former religious group based in L.A. Apparently they would wake up and pray and then go in the garage and rock the hell out improvised style! I’ll be playing the entire record tonight. But be warned – the insert claims that listening to the record three times with full attention will cause you to never want to listen to another type of music ever again. Personally, spinning this record tonight will be my round two and I believe I will have to keep it safely on the shelf from here on out … it’s like saying BeetleJuice too many times.
I recently took note of this new Air Force ad that’s all over hulu.com. That one in particular is all about their unmanned surveillance drones, which totally gives me the the willies…
I couldn’t find that same advertisement, but here’s another I found video on youtube:
Note:
1. Did you know that their new slogan is “Above All” ?
2. That they are now committed to protecting AIR, SPACE and CYBERSPACE??
Dream:
There was a show happening at a venue and my friend Tiffany (who does shows in Seattle) came out and said “Garrett, someone is messing with one of your displays”. Apparently I had an art show in the other room. I went in there and the was a teenager like flicking this little trophy bobbly-head spring sheep thing saying “the birds in the trees fly all around” over and over again.
I gave him the little trophy, we put it in the box. It was 14.95 on the price tag, I remember seeing that.
Also the venue was an old hospital that was still sorta functioning..it kinda reminded me of the Department of Saftey (a venue in Anacortes that used to be a fire department?). And this giant doctor, who was taller than me got upset that I hadn’t registered/checked in, but then later asked me if I wanted to be his apprentice, and he sorta interviewed me. I told him about how I was a religious studies major but that I also liked biology. He was blond. Thin and tall. A giant. Kindof like the funeral director where my sister used to work.
Outside I saw all these kids I knew when I was younger that I haven’t seen in a long time. They were all reuniting now that they were older.
I didn’t say yes, but I guess it was implied that this doctor really wanted me to help him. But there was some fear on my part because I was thinking “I may be good at learning new stuff, but I am really terrible with beaucracy and ‘proper procedure’” (like how I not checked in properly.He was annoyed with it … he told me I was not allowed to wander the halls) .. I don’t really know what my job would be. I knew he was a doctor of sorts. There were a few other hipster kids who were also considered “doctors”.
(did you feel safe? like you trusted him?)
Sure. Respected him.
(did he make you feel big or small?)
Kinda small. Awestruck a little. oh, he also kissed my cheek at one point when he was talking to me which I thought was weird.
Oh, one other detail. Another friend was in the dream … She had a huge binder full of trash that she had collected along 101..And each of it had meaning. It was a three ring binder with plastic sleeves..and everything in chronological order.”
