picking up the cello again
stumbling over it
and that’s fine
and that’s
what happens every time
with every thing
and you remember it’s yours
if you tell yourself
so

This one turned out a bit hippy, if that’s your thing, you’re welcome, if not, you’re welcome.

also, Music Everyday was / is like, not the creativist title ever and so these are now a part of a thingy called “REVERIES” and yes, that added notch of pretentious *does* make me breathe a little easier.

the end.

been around lately, a good weekend out in what LA is, a museum, some galleries and hundreds having fun, electric evenings. I suppose summer is here.

Also I played guitar tonight.

started as called broken

I wanted to see if I could make a new age track, and was being ironic and cynical. and then i actually really liked how this turned, might do a few more. here’s for you to do what you can with it, like, close yr eyes and sit awhile. or party hard.

and an 8 minute meditation track gets in on the everyday action.

made three songs this weekend
all continuing from the previous, and kind exploring what hides in one chord, even though that sounds more thought out than it was
oh and three different instruments: guitar, then cello, then ukelele

Last night I had the pleasure of practicing with the great Molly Allis and Jenica Anderson of Bear Club. We’ve been playing electric lately, but in preparation for a more intimate show we were armed with marimba, cello and acoustic guitar. And of course their voices. Sorry, the cello is a bit loud on this recording of us practicing a song since the recorder was close to me.

I am not a drummer. Drummers are insanely talented people. There is an unspoken precision mixed with non-thought that is beyond me. Nonetheless. Going to drums is a way to get to a start place of non music think-too-much for me.

It has been a while. Well. That’s ok… right?

So, let’s not worry about how many days missed. Who even cares what the rules might be. I want to get back to the core of this thing as it has evolved:

Music Everyday shall maybe be improvised things… things that come about out of the day. The whole idea for me was/is/shall be that I find joy in making music every day….

and… AND! if it so happens that I share that online… well, great. But I am restating here that this is such a selfish project. It’s for me. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, kind of. It’s for you. It’s for music, not meant to be a single hand clapping. So.

Here’s the latest.

Here’s a super rough “song”… I don’t know if it’s that, so much as an idea and letting the lyrics fall out of its pockets to see if there’s anything worth picking up.

I’ve been making music everyday! But not specifically for my music everyday project. But with that spirit in mind I’m going to post excerpts from what I’ve been working on for the last few days…

Here’s an outtake of guitar, the rest of the song was too long. It’s funny when I realize what I was listening to a lot when recording… in this case I think I must have definitely been on a Gillian Welch / Dave Rawlings kick.

I was almost going to “cheat” and post an old recording. But the whole idea is, for me, to find some joy in playing music everyday. Sharing it makes it more likely that that happens, in theory and practice. So I sat and played guitar. It’s not profound maybe, or show how rad I can shred. It’s just making music.
