   About Kurt Weisman

    After a few years of focusing on computer music and live electronics I found myself returning to my childhood hobby of songwriting and singing. I formed the band Feathers with my friends and it developed into a great outlet for just that. In the meantime I still wanted to experiment with computers and recording techniques so I started recording separately under my birth name. Those are the recordings this page is about; guiltless experiments in production and songcraft, and perhaps in the blurring of the line between the two.

   I know that sounds serious but relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, this music is also an experiment in having fun.

    The first EP, "Kurt Sings..." was released by our own Feathers Family label. It consists of two utopian hippy songs with a love song in the middle. In some ways this EP is about letting go of ideas about which equipment does what and making do with what you have. The computer I was using at the time was not powerful. I did a lot of editing of tiny pieces of the songs and then sticking them back together on the four-track. I also pitched things up a lot, desiring a clearer. more accurate sound than the tape was giving me.

    My second EP, "More is More" was released as a 33 1/3 rpm 7" on Mad Monk. The premise was to rebel against the conventional wisdom expressed in the phrase "less is more". These six two minute songs push the limits of layered, jarring production. They are still pop songs though.

    "Spiritual Sci-fi" was released by Important Records on January 22nd, 2008. The main thing that's different about it is that it's a full length so the songs have more time to develop and they are some of my best. It features some other players here and there. Joshua Stamper did one of the arrangements. It's not a concept album but there was a little more consideration given to thematic consistency.

    I play shows with my voice and guitar and sometimes with friends. Please ask me to play a show.
