I like this epic version of frustration.

So I also recorded this, called Frontin', and now I think I should say what I really like about these last home recordings:
They're recorded with an ambiant mic. The amps and the keyboard are set to very low volume. Originallly, the low volume was so that I would not be interrupted by the neighboors complaining. So now i play so low, I mean a bunch of mice fighting would make as much noise as me. The cool thing is that you can hear my fingers hitting the keyboard keys, just as much as you can hear the sound from the amps. And all that extra noise (fingers hitting keys, click on buttons, feet beating the tempo on the floor) is like the sliding noise of fingers you often hear on recordings of accoustic guitar or like any extra noise present in accoustic music, all the way to say open air percussions on the beach at the sunset - WELL - basically I mean that this noise joins together the music and the notion of reality. This music is recorded in real space and time. That's what I like in the sound of these recordings. Tell me what YOU think.

oh and here's a nice band photo from our trip to Salzburg.

On with the perfect chamber music quest: I'm heavy not light Here you can hear me breathe and you can almost hear my heartbeat (almost)

I recorded a song, that would have gone on for ever if it hadn't been interrupted by my neighboor ringing the Bell -again- to complain about the noise. And it's recorded! So here's a piece of real life for you!
It's called Ah, la vie d'artiste.

And here's one more song to sing.

March 29 2010
I bought this new mic and started recording myself with it. It's an ambiant mic so it's just one take/one track.
It's like chamber music, but.

I recorded Loss.

on top of the main track I added a melody at the very end, played the melody on a keyboard Bruno Dorn just gave me. It's an "eko" "boomerang". !!! I love it.
At the very end of the track you can hear my neighboor furiously banging at my door.

Also recorded On The Wrong Side.

I'm trying to find the perfect position for the mic, the amps, and myself, so as to record the most awesome chamber music ever.
Stay tuned for news of PROGRESS.
