Gojimera Debut

I played out my first show by myself last night, and for the most part I thought it went pretty well.
Whether anyone liked it? Who the fuck knows.
I ran into a little bit of technical difficulty toward the end of the set, which I wasn't able to quickly fix. I went ahead and played through it, but I think the frequency I couldn't isolate was a little much for the human head. My head was vibrating all wrong for like 5 minutes.
:(
I guess this is what happens when you first try something.
The rest of the night was totally off the hook. Good people, making great music and having a great time.
I feel totally blessed to live in a city with so many awesome creative people.
James of the Cysts gave me a copy of their shiny new tape, and it is amazing. You should totally check it out, and while your at it, peruse his very cool blog.
Also, much thanks to Alex Miel who provided ultra-cool, dark, comic book style art to the house for the event and also contributed hot pencil-theremin action to part of my set. Hopefully I'll get some digital copies of some of the art in the near future to share.
For those who missed it, here are photos and a short video from the set, provided by Alex's lovely wife and a long-time friend, Marissa. (check out her delicious blog!)
Enjoy!

Hatching a new kind of turtle.

Woodshedding. It's amazing the amount of things you can want to try to pull off in 15 or 20 short minutes.
In this manner I have been occupied for the last few days.
Apologies.
Here are some tiny tiny graphical parts of my gnawing.

Woodshedding

I'm going to be quite busy, locked up, alone, making some sounds come to fruition. I have a show coming up on New Years eve, and I insist on it being awesome. It will be my first live performance since leaving my former band, but if you liked Tea For Julie, this music may not make any kind of sense to you, but I'm really feeling it. I'm feeling good, but I won't be ready to perform until I feel good the way wild beasts do. Hopefully, by the day of the show my viola will be totally afraid of me when I approach it. I'm also making a theremin type device from scratch and my friend Alex Miel will be joining me at a point in my set to draw (like with a pencil) some live sounds right before your eyes. Art that speaks as it is born. All of this is such a long time coming.

New Years Eve!

I live in a house where we have shows. It is popularly known as the Sorority House. Mostly experimental, and noise, but not always. We're having one of these fun things go down on New Years Eve! Old school homie Alex Miel will be decking the crib out with some super sweet art and the musical line-up is deadly! This will be an out of control fun night!
