i called this one scrimple
i don’t know what it is
the world is so strange
today
these days
how do we
just love eachother?
again?
oi.
can’t even write a blog post like a normal
it’s not like i’ve been watching game of thrones
or anything
here’s some cello action
for ya
here’s some
time
in the form of
harmonies
for ya
falling string
sings
a lack of whether or
why
and a bunch of
slings
I made sure to share some music
playing with broken
things
making a mess
of it
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
let’s get
all caught
up
and play
geetar
gee
star
i fell out of it for a little while
doesn’t mean it’s over!
it’s never over.
music everyday forever
I forgot to post this.
I forgot
to keep playing
forever
playin guitar
sometimes takes me
back in time
at my brother’s house, playing his awesome martin guitar
end of week, time getting circled on itself, here are some 2 minutes of music for your day, week, life.
making the pentatonic hits, on a daily basis
ok, everyone is allowed to play with synthesizers every once in a while. i don’t know how i feel about this but it is today’s thingy, so there.
wow, i got lost this weekend and it was great! this sunday eve i recorded some ukelele just to check in with you
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.
part 2 in the cello tried to be new age and turned kind of cool and meditative series.
the ol’ angsty guitar routine.
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.
look, there are bells everywhere. just a kind of song to remember where they were.
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.
this guitar went that way
this one is ukelay lady lay
this one is celloed out
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
my bet’s on c#minor
make the cello go
melodica. that is all.
turning to my good friend mr. ukelele for today’s moody jam.
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.
played some more bach action and then improvised afterwards, imperfect and all.
picked up good ol’ Cello McCelloface today. I played some Bach badly and then recorded this improvisation.
i like my toy xylophone
and on. improvised fingers on guitar.
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.
live from the corral
I am a music intern
no fanfare! why? i got busy to post. like a tardy homework here is my assignment. 100 days. a few behind. F-
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 don’t have a name for this one, it’s just a short thought on piano
I posted the early version of this with beats, I thought the cello part was nice enough to share on its own.
this song is a bit more, er, aggressive. here are some tamped punkish chamber cellos.
two cellos playing a pretty line, hard panned left and right gives it that floaty feeling
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…
cello. then beats. then cello, and more beats!
big things.
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.
now we are all caught up. trust issues, all resolved.
gets lit
where we live, inside, but outside
