Kevin, Thanks so much for the copy of 'Connections', it's really quite a remarkable recording - as an ensemble, but particularly the rapport you have between youself and Andy McWain on piano...'amalgamation' was a standout track, for my ears.
I look forward to hearing more from this group... all the best for recording next spring!
Hi Kevin, Thanks for your request, great music here! I dig it, amazing sound and compositions are killer! Hope to meet you sometime in real life and play together. Peace, Zulf
You more than delivered, yikes. I think we are beginning to cohere interest whereby those who actually want to listen and are discerning now look to this silly little space as a refuge from all the other nonsense.
Make it a home away from home if you can and hang out for the work Forbes, Joe and Jacob are up to. I have convinced Rob to make this place a home to all of you.
And the consistency tells the far flung bunch of actual listeners that the will be rewarded.
Have a fun show on 7/12. I still intend to describe 'Connections'. It'll be a fun write. Jacob's Secondary Deviations will be at Outpost on 6/14 with Forbes, Hobbs and Croix and Daniel Carter will be at 234 on the 20th. Sort of a lively summer in Bucolia.
Hi Kevin - great music - just to let you know my improvising rock orchestra SLOW TWITCH FIBRES is reforming for an album in the summer - coming soon to myspace! all bestest - pete
