a couple of new tracks up on SC

the gig at SLC went fairly well, although listening back to (& watching) the first piece today, I wish I'd played it a little differently... I shouldn't have played as steadily (as I have been advised)! Putting these up for review, comment, etc.

resettling the studio now & hope to be playing a little later today

cheers, friends, cf

  2. Alan, thanks. SLC is Sarah Lawrence College. & Yes, there are visuals is well. The better of the 2 pieces (imo) is posted up on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if8ORxed2Vs&list=UUkE2c7TCwJq9ugdvq6VuBTA&index=1
    pretty happy with how it turned out; btw about 1/3+ is played in upper octave (thxx to you)

    i tuned the lyrics, shaping output from C.O. Hartman's PyProse, which I've done once or twice (or 500 times) before. I have also made a flash movie (with a different improvised soundtrack made in this course) using some the same lyric, which is up at http://web.njit.edu/~funkhous/Sentences1Bsom.swf

  3. the upper octave and speed sounds good and singing as well - for some weird reason reminds me of Bukowski! also wonder if you do this with projecting the words?

  4. The flash I like a little less, but I like your voice and complexity in the live performance given the character of the writing -
