is this regularity again?
so...
other than feeling like a complete fuck-up now and then, things have been pretty good.
performed with Adam O at a gallery on friday. our electronic-improv variety. I debuted my 'drum tree' as it's come to be called - bunch of triggers I built, mounted together on some booms, currently. looks cool. that's what counts. although at one point we completely stripped down all the electronics - he was playing mandolin while luis picked up the bass, I worked some random percussion while humming in the mic. Very acoustic purist for a moment. then we cycled back and forth verse-chorus style between that and some beats I played on the tree while O beat-boxed in the mic. good times
practice/rehearsal saturday with the band. doing well with that.
dropped into some sort of funk for the rest of saturday, though. Was invited out salsa dancing for one of the architect's birthday celebrations. except - from the moment of invite on, i wasn't feeling very social. I went for his birthday, and that reason alone. We met for dinner, I got talked into hanging at the club longer than i wanted, then I left early. got home, threw my jacket on the floor, then my keys, harder. stood over them wondering what the fuck i was feeling that night, because, something was wrong...
i think i need a new pic for this site.
and this weekend I will be hiking the grand canyon. I am looking forward to one moment in particular, one I experience every year on the hike. The moment our group breaks apart a bit, plenty of distance between us. I become intensely aware of the sound of my own walking. Stop - and - aaahhhh the silence. it's so very amazing.
later-
