Wandering Yeti SpeaksWandering Yeti Speaks - LiveJournal.comRed Fudo- May 30, 2008 Ugh. I still have to write an academic paper about this guy. But my devotion to him is enflaming my inspiration in the musical spheres and drawing and painting. Like discovering the dragon hiding behind the way a 57 shapes sound waves. Move the eq wave slightly to the west and discover gold. Ok maybe when my ears are tired I'll take a break and write a paper. There's also video. Yikes. So this is what happens when mercury goes retro at home at the end of a term at school. The paper will get...http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/407585.html Here's to not rushing excellence- May 29, 2008 Yay! After sitting with my first mix of Schitzified (track 2 of Solve, side 2 of the 3 sided album Panagaperos) for awhile I decided to redo the vocals today. Omigod but does it go better after I've listened to a scratch vocal long enough to memorize the melody and words so that I can just sink into the groove and sing it and not waste attention on questions like,"what's the next phrase" or "should I go up, down or stay steady on the next note" etc. Also helpful is listening to other bands with.http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/407300.html Mercury Grumbles- May 26, 2008 Allright. Mercury is officially retrograde as seen from planet Earth. That means that all my projected grumblings at the state of the music scene really should be directed inward since I don't have a live vehicle that I feel is worth being paid for yet. 2009 should be right about time and by then my biggest gripe about working conditions for live musicians (second hand smoke) will be no more. Ok, back to work. Sorry about the wasted energy.http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/407059.html Drink Tickets- May 26, 2008 It seems to me that as long as musicians are willing to play for drink tickets music venues will be content to pay only in drink tickets since that means they essentially get your services for free. And the quality of music suffers. Few people would be willing to put much practice into something that has a market value of 2 pints of cheap beer or 2 well drinks per experience. We really should demand better treatment if we're going to bother going through the trouble of appearing in public with..http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/406805.html I heart internets- May 25, 2008 Thought earlier: oh shit. holiday weekend. No library for art history. Worry a little bit. Wonder if can write paper in 1.5 hours before class tuesday. Nah. Wait: Grove Art Online. Yessssss. We don't need ur library. 3 sources from scholarly journals now in gmail box.http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/406661.html AC needs a banner...- May 24, 2008 Ok. I don't need to be that obnoxious, but I'll bring me some cds and cards and see if I can catch me some musicians. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raevyn <raevynmindspring.com> Date: Mon, May 19, 2008 at 7:40 PM Subject: The-Web Summer Solstice Public Ritual and Feast!

See, this is where I'm at: The whole improvised soundscape thing is NOT what I want to keep doing. I want to play music that's of the caliber of Tool crossed with...http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/406100.html Well now what- May 23, 2008 Henceforth the Ascension Conspiracy will no longer manifest in public spaces where tobacco is abused indoors. Should have gone to yoga class. Throat feel like smoked pack of cigarettes. Fuck this.http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/405999.html Ok, should have been obvious- May 22, 2008 Stickers = bad solution for CD art. I now have a new pile of art supplies consisting of a stack of CDs that I put stickers on (ones that are specifically made for that purpose, theoretically) which are now useless in slot CD drives, which is what most people have these days. Le sigh. Should have known. I mean, it felt like I was taking a risk putting the thing into Tahuti's drive cause those stickers are thick. Well, fortunately it didn't get stuck but he just chewed on it for a bit and managed.http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/405557.html Free Show Tonight!- May 22, 2008 Ok, flyer hard to read: here is translation:Mt Tabor Legacy Lounge4811 se HawthorneFree!9pmWe play first so you don't have to stay up stupidly late to catch the show. The live vehicle of the Ascension Conspiracy makes another appearance as ambient bliss machine in search of co -conspirators (to breathe together is to be in the groove) to expand the possible aural manifestations of Ascension Conspiracy. The recorded version of this process is the blueprint genetic code for the live creature....http://agaperos77.livejournal.com/405401.html |
