DASH! PHONES IT IN

phoningitinlo-fi is the right fi: dj talk­son­the­p­hone calls up all your favorite musi­cians for live over-the-phone per­for­mances and awk­ward conversation.

A while back I had the plea­sure of play­ing the KDVS radio show called “Phoning It In”.  Literally over the phone, I played a set from the Marriage Studio here in Portland. It has finally been posted on their site for stream and down­load. Digital decay has never sounded so good!

There are plenty of other great shows on the archive to check out as well includ­ing friends Cole Moldy Milner, LAKE, Cryptacize, Ben and Bruno, The Watery Graves of Portland, World, Little Wings, Thanksgiving, and recently, Davis Lee Hooker play­ing songs from his new record that I com­posed strings for, “Dark Town Dark City”.

I’m very excited to release this short record, my first on Marriage Records, as a “dig­i­tal down­load only release”. It uti­lizes our new web-based soft­ware called Coupe designed by tech mas­ter­mind Greg Borenstein. Similar to the down­load code that you get when you buy a vinyl record these days, Marriage is break­ing ground by elim­i­nat­ing the phys­i­cal copy and sell­ing pieces of paper (or in my sit­u­a­tion a color post­card), bric-a-brac, or other non-related pieces of merch with the uniquely coded sticker pasted to it. A new ven­ture. So rad to have this at our disposal!

Check out the record, I’m really proud of it and recorded it in mid-February through the end of March at the BCS Studio B and at the Marriage Records Studio. The final track, “How Do You Feel?” is a cul­mi­na­tion of a feel­ing and idea that I have been work­ing on for 5 years… I think I’ve set­tled in on some­thing that I am finally ready to show to the world. Enjoy!

DEKUM SHOW DOCUMENT

Honey, Ashby, and I played this show a two Fridays ago and I made a lit­tle video of it using some footage I took while mix­ing paint for the new, almost com­pleted, BCS Vibe and Recording Booth that I’m build­ing at the BCSHQ. I have been work­ing on this sculpture/room/project for about 2 months or a lit­tle more. It’s been an extremely fun and learned project using mostly free and/or found mate­ri­als. A bit crunk, but very prac­ti­cal. Hope to do a new Orem record in there, some Dash, some orches­tral record­ings and prac­tice ses­sions, sit, lis­ten to noth­ing, vibe out, you know. More once it’s “done”.

Anyway, Honey engi­neered and pro­duced the viola effects for me at this show and Ashby did her thing on vox. Check it out:

Also worth men­tion­ing is that tomor­row at the Worksound Gallery in Portland I am par­tic­i­pat­ing in a col­lab­o­ra­tive large ensem­ble impro­vised show with some 20+ musi­cians. I’m very excited for this one and it should not be missed.
