http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block Thu, 02 Aug 2007 18:47:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en For whatever reason my website is down and the hosting provider is not reachable by phone or email. So I've transfered my domain and site to a new provider, but it may take a couple of days for these changes to propagate through the Web. http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/08/02/080207/ I've begun posting music from each week's sessions; to hear them click here. Since my current mode of operation revolves around real-time looping I've been recording pretty much everything and then going back each week to pick out the stuff that warrants further development. I'm exploring some hard disk recording ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/08/01/080107/ Lots of stuff going on during the interim. I recently purchased an Akai EWI4000, which I've has occupied much of my free time. There's a lot of power in this little wind synth, although it's been a bit of a struggle getting the software editor to work on MacBook to ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/04/05/riff-raff/ RIP Ian. I grew up with a keen interest in the Islands-era King Crimson, based mainly on Earthbound with its funky jams. Since then I've enjoyed every live release of this era that DGM has put out. But having said that, my favorite Ian Wallace performance is on Dylan's No ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/02/23/fare-thee-well/ About a month has passed since I last stopped in. In the meantime, the weather has been very cold. I finished all my base material for the collaboration with APK and I'm interested to hear what he comes back with. Much of the next synthblock album has been written, but ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/02/20/bweebida-bwobbida/ It's actually snowing, although not too much is sticking. Currently working through credit card snafus. Finished sequencing the last of the APK collaboration pieces. Now just to mix and then record them. I ended up redoing the piano/pad/bass piece. http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/01/18/everywhere-and-to-there/ Nice long weekend. It's finally cold! We went bowling yesterday, which we all enjoy. I also did a bit of work on the collaboration pieces and I'm coming down to the wire. Just need to sequence an opening and closing soundscape. I also did an improvisational piano/pad/bass piece that turned ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/01/16/tales-from-the-attic/ Cool weather returns. Up at the alarm this morning, but did not rush out of bed. Lots of ice puddles on the way to work. Spent a fair amount of time this weekend working on one of the tracks for the APK collaboration, descriptively and temporarily titled Metal Arp. I put ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/01/09/wont-you-try/ Rain again. It's going to be very warm this weekend. I saw some new grass coming up between the bricks in the back walk yesterday. Too much. I've been enjoying You Are, a recent Reich recording, very much today. http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/01/05/its-gonna-rain/ How much warmer can it get? I don't ever recall the weather being like this. Basically, it's like an early Spring day in March. A huge sigh this morning. Sometimes we forget to breath. A quick run through the new pad compositions last night, but there was not enough lead time ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/block/2007/01/04/the-way-the-stars-come-out/
