Grim, there's an asbestos carpet especially for beings such as yourselfPosted 3rd August 2008 at 11:37 AM by Harpo - Old friends, new friends...........
Last month I met up with some old friends and we recorded some music for our band's next album. We posed for photos beside the river that passes our host's house, and spent the evening playing karaoke (I do a reasonable Johnny Cash, apparently). It's great doing things with old friends.
At the end of next week I'm meeting up with a new friend (she's flying over from Switzerland to play a gig in Brighton) we're going in search of cockles and jaffa cakes (not together, of course) and then spending a few hours in a recording studio (with a great view of the sea) to record more for that same album, with some other new friends. It's great doing things with new friends.Posted 4th August 2008 at 10:18 PM by Harpo - Lo and behold - today in the post I recieved the recordings that we made last month! The music has been edited down to 45 minutes, divided roughly in half, for our future double album. And I love it - it's excruciating and I love it.
I also got the full recording session, but haven't listened to that yet, the edited version is so good
(thinks - put this in a music category next time)Posted 5th August 2008 at 09:32 PM by Harpo -

sohnds like a RECORD
although.....

i love analog recordings
what do you play on it,BTW?Posted 5th August 2008 at 09:46 PM by HardScienceFan - Yep, a double album. Probably on CD though, not vinyl sadly.
A few weeks ago I played piano, guitar, percussion, trombone, and some toys.
In Brighton I'll be playing percussion & keyboards, plus whatever other people bring that I can get my hands on (or not in the case of the theremin, of course)Posted 6th August 2008 at 09:12 PM by Harpo -
wow
trombone
there's a good demonstration video of the ondes Martenot on you tube
one cool instrument
so basically you're a multi-unstrumentalistPosted 6th August 2008 at 09:22 PM by HardScienceFan

ooh I love Brighton and congrats Harpo on recording your stoof
when is the gig always looking for an excuse to visit Brighton?Posted 6th August 2008 at 10:13 PM by Tansy - It's on 16th August, but I'm not playing at the gig - my thereminist friend is.
hehe - multi-unstrumentalist! That's a great wordPosted 7th August 2008 at 01:47 PM by Harpo -
Oooohhh, a theremin.
I got to play one of those once, in a museum in San Diego. It was a great deal of fun even though I didn't have a clue what I was doing.Posted 8th August 2008 at 06:33 AM by littlemissattitude -
