Chinapainting LIVE at the Center for Improvised Music, Brooklyn, NY, on their first mini-tour Northeast 2007 and first official meeting of the founders/members, Daryl Shawn and Jim Goodin.
Chinapainting is orchestrated by composer/guitarists Daryl Shawn (Oaxaca, Mexico) and Jim Goodin (Brooklyn, NY). These two musicians have never met or played together in person, but came to know each other when Jim contacted Daryl through a Web-based forum on the art of "looping". Looping is a process of repeating and layering phrases of music on top of each other, forming a canvas of sound and texture through digital, analog or even mechanical means. All of the music is improvised.
Chinapainting was born through several web-based performances that were made possible by an Internet software tool called Ninjam, which allows two or more computers in different locations to send and receive musical data in real-time with minimal delay.
Chinapainting's My Space imagery is captured by photographer Julie Ramirez. For more of her work visit Ojitos-In-Mexico.Chinapainting collage image graphic designed by Ray Istorico.
Oh but of course... and really I'm in the states too... if you consider the city of sin of the states. I get rather confused sometimes by all the one armed bandits and homeless people and hot air and luxury and call girls...
Hey Dayrl. Great to hear from you. Let me know when you guys are back in New York. I would love to see you play, and we'll definitely keep you posted on any upcoming shows around you too.

A poem for your day:

Rest In All Love Is
------------------
I love you like this...
dark, i can barely see your eyes...
so dark my eyes are useless. My
heart opens wide its light on you
and your face brightens like the
static on a TV screen, or like the moment
we die and things begin to go all white
and
then
you're an angel laying before me...
the same one that has been there all along,
the one my eyes turned into something else and I
am ashamed I was deceived.
Then,
I see you, I see you like the energy that flows through my limbs,
now, like the breath that takes the universe and
gently creates another, now, like my feet walking
on glass, now, like I was never there.
I love you like I was never there. So gently, never there. In the dark
where I can barely see, and, rest in all that love is.
I look at you my Friend and I see a child at play
frolicking in muddy streams, splashing rivers into
oceans and carrying each molecule gently
to the sky for another round like a child handing water to his Father
for the first time.
You are neither boastful nor meek.
You are not shy nor are you seeking attention
There is simply abundance and grace with you my Friend
and you ask nothing of me...save I am my self...fully...always... and
you ask without asking...lead without
leading...cause...effortlessly.
