I've enjoyed this song for a while. Soon I fear I won't be able to hear it for a long time...

it's good to be back

I've been away for a while and many posts are in order

This video is from a performance that Proud Father orchestrated for Thursday Night

The Performance was at the Mulark Pubic Theatre

Which is my favorite local spot

It's a theatre/music venue run by my friend Pandora,

who designs sets and the most amazing puppets

She's also an incredible performer in her own right and I suggest you check her website

The heat was intense

The lights were dim

The sounds were loud

My friends WitchBeam and Sister Jillian of the Crow Hill Gnostic Temple

were kind enough to perform their meditative set

Using droning, pulsating synths and meditative cooperation, they brought each audience member into their own personal nirvana.

There were scented vials, lights, and a unique take on just about every aspect of a musical performance.

They requested no photos, videos, or recordings, to which I happily obliged

It's an experience that must be experienced firsthand

My set was a continuation of my current method. Tapes through effects looped.

Instant tape compositions, blended, distorted, multiplied.

Over the top of these I put some effected harmony vocals, and had the MFOS synth supplying an arpeggio/drum synth run combination to give the entire performance and underlaying pulse

Next came my good friend Jonathan from I have two wolves inside of me

A band from Baton Rouge that I cannot recommend enough

Jonathan did a solo set featuring massive walls of processed synths and drums tinged with

shoegazey vocals and textures

The best way to describe the sound would be soaked or drenched.

Dreamy, and clear. He says he intends for his music to have the same qualities

as the video game soundtracks he enjoyed growing up

And to top it all off he finished the set with a Cocteau Twins sample

Afterwards, Jonathan and I were joined by Allyson of IHTWIOM

for a late night all out live ambient collab.

That video is at the top

we packed up

said our goodbyes

and slept soundly

Wish you were here

chiridijiri Ø nari: Proud Father Radio Recordings

Every week, my friend (Walter) and I have been doing improvised ambient/live looping/experimental sets. We've now gotten to the point where we are comfortable making the event public and releasing the recordings.

Chiridijiri o nari translates roughly into
Seperated by sound

We are close friends but we have lived far apart for two years

This radio show serves as a way for us to finally collaborate musically

Something we had both put off doing in person until it was too late

And we had moved to different cities

The performances are all lived, completely improvised,

and featured various instrumentation

From drums and spanish guitars

to computers, synthesizers, and circuit bent devices

Sets will eventually involve

composition themes

chance games

dances

mor

There will be announcements on the ProudFather facebook

as to when these events will occur

Usually Monday or Wednesday nights

Starting at 9pm CT-USA

Our USTREAM site can be found here

Sometimes the easiest way to find new music

Is to have the person who created it show you

I enjoy the free flow of information,

especially when it's sharing what you have created with others

HIDEYOSHI HASHIBA

Theodor Severin Kittelsen

A glade in the wood
Where the sun shines
Between the trees we are imprisoned
In this God's gladeIt burns it scorches
When the light licks our flesh
Goes toward the sky a smoke
A cloud of our form
Prisoners of the burials
Tormented by God's goodness
No flame no hate
They were right we have come to Hell

Tellus Cassette Magazine: 1983-1993

Cassettes, in their own way, have always been a novelty. It celebrated it's first birthday at the Berlin Internationale Funkausstellung of 1963. I don't think they ever got the respect cd's did

(at least cassettes begin to sound cool before they break)

(They can be used to record video as well as audio, fun fact)

In 1983, a group of artists and musicians from the Lower East Side began distributing a magazine showcasing the music going on around them. Outside of the confines of "No-Wave", the magazine showcased artist from all over the globe, with a different musical theme for each issue, ranging from compositions for new school theatre and dance to pieces created by visual artists (few with classical training).

The magazine, however, was only on cassette. Their was no printed counterpart.

Tellus was not the first Casette only publication. Computer hobbyists had released magazines on cassette as early as 1974. These were memory recordings that the computer would recognize as binary, and format into a readable source. Tellus, however, was all about the audio.

I find it extremely important to note that they were also extremely supportive of both female and gay composers and non-musicians during a time where it wasn't uncommon to hear "open minded" hardcore songs rallying against homosexuality and glorifying the benefits of "brotherhood" and violence towards women.

While tellus is long gone, the above atrocities are still happening in all forms of music

Tellus encompassed something far larger than the Lower East Side.

Since this blog is just starting out and I assume that no one is reading it, I may as well use it to share both developments of Proud Father and music that I believe should be shared. Support artists, buy the album. Just an observation, the variety found in experimental music is astounding, to the point where it's still hard for it to be categorized, packaged, and sold off...
I enjoy this fact
