picked up good ol’ Cello McCelloface today. I played some Bach badly and then recorded this improvisation.

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 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.

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…

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.

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!

In honor of The Boss being in town this week I played through as many songs off this album I could pull off. This one gets me every time.

This is one where I’m glad that the four track still works. I don’t know when I did this song, but it was very, very long ago. And it was when I’d use a handheld audio recorder to double up the vocals somewhat randomly.

This morning the most tremendous thunder I think I’ve heard in LA… woke me up and admittedly I was kind of grumpy like “what is that rumbling sound argh” and then I’m so glad I got up in the early dawn and saw this wall of hail approach and flashes so close I decided being on the roof maybe not the optimal place to witness.

Also this is another solo cello improvised thingy.

Playing cello and trying to pull something out of being erh… not the most inspired I’ve ever been. This ended up sort of being like a walk up and down hill which is what I did this morning so there you have it.

#musiceveryday 61 – making up a song on the spot. to tell the truth I really like this way of “writing” lyrics. I’m not saying that *just* because I’m lazy… just that some of these off the cuff lines might be a LOT better than something I could turn over again and again.

For this edition of Music Everyday for some reason I took two junk guitars and tuned them to the same-ish note (whichever note would hold, they’re not renowned for their intonation) and pushed their backs together while I played, hoping to create a nice drone-y sound from the back guitar. Not too much drone action but made the crummy top guitar very warm and resonant. I might have my million dollar idea: lashing together guitars for a warmer tone. I mean, it’s not like I composed a masterpiece with this setup or anything. But it’s fun to try new things.
