Forbes/Young Duet @ Enemy

These are jams that made up the FYD set at Enemy in Chicago on Thursday, June 16, 2011. We were just coming off a month long tour with Tiger Hatchery but still hadn't played as a duet for nearly a year. Now that Mike's out of Chicago again this might stand as the only new FYD material for another year! Last jam features Jacob Heule (of Ettrick) on drum set! All tracks recorded with the zoom H4. Recording's a little over-driven but I think it sounds pretty cool.

ASY - Insect Whistle

This track was recorded in March with the zoom h4. It's me trying more new things with a mixer, electric bass, and casio keyboard. More beats. VERY different stuff from the ASY most of you know and tolerate.

DANCE! NOW!

ASY - Warm White Light

This is a jam I made late at night on March 17, 2011. All sounds made by mixer feedback and electric guitar, recorded with the zoom H4, and mixed on my computer. BEATS? you decide.

HEAT DEATH

Heath Death began as a guitar duo with Ryley Walker and Jay Caston. After their first and only performance (which was at the Mopery), Ryley and Mike Forbes began using the name for several different configurations of a group with J Guy Laughlin. And now J Guy decided to adopt the name for a quartet with Ryley, Jeff Host, and me. So here's the new Heat Death:

Track 1

Track 2

Recorded at the Chateau on 2/28/11 with the zoom h4.

Ryley Walker - guitar

ASY - Tour Solo Set

Last month, Ben Billington (Quicksails) and I went on a short tour around the midwest/eastcoast. I recorded five nights of the eight and I think this is the one that turned out best. The set I played each night of this tour was made up of three short pieces. All the sounds are made on "prepared" acoustic bass. The preparations involved electric toothbrushes, drumsticks, and pie plates. Here they are:

Wyoming w/J Guy & Ben Billington

These were jams recorded on the 21st of January, right after Ben and I got back from another rehearsal. Ryley, Ben, and I had already sort of wound down from doing some jams before J Guy came over. After his arrival though with Ben on some minimal percussion and J Guy manning the drums, we got a second wind and recorded the results:

WYOMING

WYOMING - 9 ZONES WITH BRIAN SULPIZIO

So Ryley and I were out wandering one day. Well, I should make it clear that Ryley was wandering and I was wondering. But whilst on our way we both happened upon Brian J. Sulpizio. He asked us where we were going and when we hesitated to give him our reply (because under the circumstances neither of us were particularly interested in going anywhere) he proceeded with great haste to convince us to travel with him on a mysterious quest. So then caught without any excuse, preparation, or supplies, save the guitars on our backs, we reluctantly began our journey into the zones.
