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

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.

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.
