Sounds Like



More than a century ago, on the sunbacked prairie west of Topeka, Ks, there stood an old abandoned farmhouse. Next to it, in a yard overgrown with weeds, was a weather beaten pump from whose handle hung a tin bucket full of water. The well beneath the pump was deep; the water was cold and deliciously pure. In those days, before and after the war between the states, thousands of settlers headed west in open and covered wagons that contained all they owned.

The pump next to the old farmhouse became a very important watering stop for the thirsty travelers and their animals. And, as the wagons turned into the yard, and the settlers wet their lips in anticipation of a cool, thirst-quenching drink of water, they saw a crudely lettered sign beside the pump:

"Please, friend, don't drink the water in the bucket. If you do, your thirst will be quenched, but all who follow you will go away thirsty. The water in the bucket must be used to prime the pump. Every drop is needed. After you prime the pump and get all the water you need, kindly refill the bucket and leave it behind, so others can get water, too."

Although an endless parade of thirsty human beings and their animals drank from that pump on the blazing Kansas prairie for nearly three decades, no one ever drank the priming water from the bucket no matter how hot and thirsty, each traveler obeyed the sign and poured every drop of the precious water from the bucket into the top of the pump to make it work.

   About Foster In Law



Todd conceived the idea for FIL back in 2005 when he started experimenting with composition using midi. With Sonar 4 he was able to put down some scores that he had been working on for some years. Discovering that he could use the midi to orchestrate large amounts of parts simultaneously ("Try Again" having 24) he started combining samples, organic drums, bass, guitar, organs, and even an euphonium that he played in highschool. Three years of composing/experimenting and 32 songs later, Foster In Law has three full length albums--one is a double disk-- and maybe a split or two if anybody’s interested. . . Foster In Law is not ashamed to let some of his influences shine through his work. In songs like "Wynd" and "Too Much Sick" one can hear some Aphex Twin type drum manipulation with atmospheric conditions that would suggest old school Scorn or Coil. The Mr. Bungle and Frank Zappa influence is noted throughout all his work mainly in the chord progressions and meter changes. Songs such as the self titled "Foster In Law" and "(The Real) Scott McCoy" seem to resemble little but FIL’s own unique musical voice. One of Todd’s main influences (not just with Foster In Law but with all his other musical outlets) is Secret Chiefs 3. Songs like "Early Grave" and "Apples" bring to ear the eastern tilt that the Chiefs do so well. Foster In Law wants to show you a video of Secret Chiefs 3 playing one of his favorite songs live.



Foster In Law has three albums available. His self-titled 13 song release is made up of songs representing the many sides of FIL’s musical personality, the two-disk set FUMES focuses mostly on the down-tempo, minimal, atmospherec-experimental side, and Foster In Law’s MIDI album is ten multi-part compositions that resemble good videogame soundtracks.
Foster In Law is making the artwork available for anyone who wants to download it. The music that goes along with the artwork will be available for loan, dub, trade, purchase, free, transmission, redistribution, release. . . If you want one ask. FIL can e-mail the songs to you as well.

My first Cd "Blue Like A Jazz Note" has just been released and is now available for purchase from my site and iTunes. This album represents the culmination of years of hard work and a dream that has been alive in me from my earliest days. It includes 15 great jazz standards by some of the world's greatest composers. I hope you'll come and have a listen.






Thanks for the support!

Amanda is having a birthday party, and invited The Terrible Airplane, Knifewound, and Church of the Burning Snake to pummel the experiential perceptions of all who attend. Won't you come to Kirby's around 9.
30pm Sunday evening, and have your little bubble of safety deflated by nail guns?
