#musiceveryday 145 – unbroken
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.

#musiceveryday 125 – Bear Club Practice – “Smoke In The Wind”
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.

#musiceveryday 119 – untimely
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.

#musiceverday 117 – and on we go
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.

#musiceverday 93 – Over The Highway
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.

#musiceveryday 92 – a piano idea
I don’t have a name for this one, it’s just a short thought on piano

#musiceveryday 91 – seriously – solo cello
I posted the early version of this with beats, I thought the cello part was nice enough to share on its own.

#musiceveryday 90 – past the tide
this song is a bit more, er, aggressive. here are some tamped punkish chamber cellos.

#musiceveryday – 88 – true radicals
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…

#musiceveryday 87 – Too Long
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.

#musiceveryday 86 – Ishtar
tried to rhyme ishtar and guitar and didn’t sing.

#musiceveryday 85 – ceremonial
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.

#musiceveryday 83 – Sarabande On An Old Mandolin
I need to get a good mandolin or fix this ancient one or maybe put strings on it for the first time ever (probably maybe has not had new strings in 40 years) because it’s tuned the same way as a cello (fifths) so I can read sheet music and play along without hating everything. I like this Bach movement the best. From the suites, number 3.

#musiceveryday – 75 – cello z
I had fallen behind. I had Bruce Springsteen shows to go to and a show to play in San Diego and Spring to hike for and just life. So I decided to catch up and recorded the 8 missing tracks in the past two days. All cello based instrumentals. Enjoy!

#musiceveryday 71 – shtuff
I want to make a new album where I can sing and it’s just one cello part (no overdubs) so that when I play it live it’s something that is as real as the recording.
