Studio Update Start-time

Tuesday Night:

Airport (band = Ronen Goldstein, Ian Fulcher & Brendan Coates)
Session: 25- minute performance applying direct feed from Obama's acceptance speech into noise-space. Idea brought on by Ian and directly manipulated under his control in conjunction with effect pedals, chaos-pad, theremin, morse-code machine and trumpet. Xylophone was out but not used. I was playing keyboard, mic-feedback, drum machine into feedback mixer. Brendan played guitar with computer and physical interface that he recently developed. Guitar was out of tune and B deemed it unusable. B mentioned computer issues yet still enjoyed the set.

Radio became freeing empowering fountain when intertwined with feedback drum machines and crowd cheers as space became transportable and delivered to my living room/ main space.

Dozen + 1/2 crowd present at Obama/ Airport performance.
The method was an odd flourish. Noise + Patriotism. Patriotism revisioning.
Feedback control, complete control of chaotic sound - embracing/ working with machine ghosts oscillation addressing past/present harmonies.

Opened by Laurel & Halolos and opened for Skeletons and Kings of all Cities.
They were all wonderful.
