so, INK BRETHREN is a group in portland, oregon. we meet about every three weeks and do a little improv songwriting.
basically, whatever is caught on tape from when we hit play until we hit stop is what our songs are made of. we start out with yelling out (from off the top of our heads) the names of titles of the songs we're going to write. and then someone picks one and tells us what they want it to sound like. and then they pick someone to start singing and then we start the recording.
INK BRETHREN'S 1st recording,"SHUN ME EP", was the exquisite product of 35 minutes of concentrated improvisational songwriting. This feat of courageousness was performed from 9:30-10:05pm on Sunday, January 22nd 2006, in the Fadel family basement with Mick, Autumn, Joel, Ted, Angie, Todd and Matt in attendance.
