living room music is for four performers who are basically acting like they're just sitting in a living room, with couches, tables, the works. then we just start playing, each person playing two distinct pitches or sounds. one person has a newspaper, another person has a book, and so forth. then when that movement's over, there's some other movement that we're not doing, but then we all just pick up a magazine and act like we start reading, but really, our music for the next movement is in the magazine. this one is called "story" and is based on a quote from gertrude stein "Once upon a time the world was round and you could go around and around on it" or some shindig. the four players each have speaking parts now, based on that quote. and we're supposed to act like we're having a conversation with it. and then my part has some whistling in it, and then that movement's over. and the last movement, we go back to our "instruments", but this time with a different groove. it is tres cool. the tv and pizza are just some of the crazy ideas we've come up with to make it tres coolER. now if i can only learn how to whistle...

THIS WAS JUST A FUNNY COMMENT TO READ.

I'M REFEERRING TO YOU, CHRIS, BTW.

HOPEFULLY YOU DIDN'T REALIZE HOW FUNNY THE END OF YOUR REPLY WAS.

IF NOT, THEN I NO LONGER FIND IT FUNNY.

I ACCIDENTALLY HAVE CAPS ON.

do you remember that episode of web junk 20 when the number 1 video was a john cage concert? it was frickin' hilarious. i was the only person in the room who got it.

no, i don't really get it. does that mean i'm a dumb blond? i really think i've turned into a dumb blond here at bandcamp. i've said some pretty stupid stuff. hopefully it doesn't transfer back too much.
