Noise or Music? [23 Apr 2008|11:37pm]
[ mood | curious ]
[ music | the ringing in my ears ]

Larry Holdaway and Matthew Setzer recording - 2008.04.22

A cellphone pic of Matthew and I recording my new piece at the warehouse last night.  The setup is simple: 2 amps, 2 guitars and 1 laptop. The results are amazing.

MP3 here: [ Feedback 11:06 v15 (for 2 guitars), 11m06s, 21MB ]

So here's my question for you all: Is it Noise or is it Music?  Personally, I'm firmly on the side of music, but I'd like to see what other people think.  Take a listen, and let me know what you think (it has a definite beginning, middle and end... I know how tempting it is to give a quick listen to the beginning and then comment, but you should really listen to the whole thing - it's worth the time, trust me!).

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

For months now, I've been promising to start up this newsletter, but every

diverting my time and energy. Enough. Here it is.

The purpose of the newsletter, of course, is to keep you updated in regard
to upcoming shows, events and new artwork. I'd like to make it monthly, but
I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see the next one until June or July.

In this issue:
  1. Upcoming Events
    1. Club HELL, April 30th

    2. Ooze, April 20th

  2. Recent Art/Performances
    1. Robber Barons

LOUD NOISE makes me HAPPY! [16 Apr 2008|11:06pm]
[ mood | accomplished ]


YouTube video of my piece "Feedback 11:06 v13 (for two guitars)" - performed at CalArts on Tuesday night. 

Originally, we were scheduled to perform in the Main Gallery.  Due to circumstances outside of my control, the Main Gallery was unavailable (more precisely, the piece is so loud that it would have disturbed the performances going on in the Mod. Theater and in the R.O.D.).  This led us (eventually) to the sub-level, where (after a minor interruption by security), I was able to perform the piece. 

Thanks to everyone who stuck around, you guys rock! Special thanks to Ben, Chadman and Matthew for providing the additional gear.



p.s. - CLICK ME FOR THE NOISE!

Hope to see you there... oh and BRING YOUR EAR-PLUGS!

Robber Barons? [05 Apr 2008|11:29pm]
[ mood | curious ]



This is a composite image of 55 executive officers from Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Valero Energy and Marathon Oil - the top five U.S. oil companies according to the 2007, Fortune 500 list of America's largest corporations.  After seeing their faces on the news all week, I wondered what they looked like collectively.

Now, if only *I* could figure out how to generate $82,885,000,000 in profits...

This caught my eye the other day.  It resonates nicely with voices in my head.

time to get off my ass... [30 Mar 2008|01:47am]
[ mood | contemplative ]

Have you been half asleep, or have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.

Is this the sweet sound, that calls the young sailor?
The voice must be one and the same.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it,
it's something that I'm supposed to be...

...time to get off my ass.

This is a short video from the group sound-art installation that we did at CalArts last week.  The "wing" is my contribution.

Thanks everyone! [24 Jan 2008|11:34am]
Thanks everyone for braving the rain and coming out the the show last night!  It is gratifying to see so much genuine appreciation for my artwork.  I made great new friends and got to spend quality time with quality people.  Thank you especially to Matthew, Kate, Jazmin, Seth, Lavine, Brooke, Kat, Erin, Fin, and Omen for your endless support.  And of course, my infinite and eternal thanks to my dearest Angelina - without you, my life would be a senseless void.

On the topic of my beautiful wife: she will be showing some of her paintings with me, tomorrow night at Release the Bats.  Almost all of the work she will be showing is brand-spanking-new... never seen by the public.  Don't miss your chance to see her work in person!  (Oh, and I'll be there too, with some of my work as well.)
