christ destroying the cross
Once in a blue moon I play with a band called Drone Sickness, which is mostly Hophead, Marduk, Beene and Bhlyr and a rotating band of other people. Last night Nella was also there, which is cool as I never see her; she’s one of those people I love for about an hour and then I’d be fine with not seeing them again for a couple months. Apparently they’ve decided to completely remake their first album, so last night was mostly collecting interesting sounds. Beene has been filling cds with Very Low Frequency broadcasts, Marduk has been working on terrain mapping in csound, and Nella had a few more DATs worth of ghost recordings. I asked her if I could go with her in a couple weeks when she goes back to the site, and she agreed. What’s interesting is I was the only person there who could play a traditional instrument (I had my trusty modified bass guitar and mountain of pedals), and as anybody who plays bass in a rockandroll band can attest, it’s an interesting experience being the focus of musical attention. Bhlyr ran some of my stuff through Bidule, which I snagged a copy of and have been messing with all morning; Audiomulch fans looking for more MIDI options might wanna give it a lookover.
